The sequences ADY42356 and ADY43217 share 99% sequence identity within the predicted NodB homology domain, but only 32% sequence identity outside this region. ADY42356 has a truncated portion of the catalytic domain. We are unable to discern these as 1 or 2 homologs, but given the catalytic domain identity we use only ADY43217 for alignments.
Based on our sequencing of this region of the gene we have shown that predicted residues 1534–1556 (relative to predicted sequence associated with Accession No. CCD67046) would not be present in the protein sequence.
M. incognita Msp9 is a potential homolog which has sequence verification from two clones available from www.nematode.net. Msp30 (AY142120) shows some homology as well, but there is less supporting data.
