Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ypt amino acid sequences were used to query the PlasmoDB ((http://plasmodb.org/plasmo) and the P. falciparum Rab displaying the highest similarity was taken and used to query the SGD data base (http://www.yeastgenome.org). The homology assignment was based on the same Ypt/PfRab pair being identified by such reciprocal BLAST analysis.
