| rp2 | 6335/2045 | Fatty acid synthase beta subunit | Talaromyces stipitatus fatty acid synthase beta subunit (XP 002340041.1) | 80 |
| rp3 | 5104/1629 | 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase in fatty acid synthesis | Talaromyces stipitatus 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase (XP 002340042.1) | 81 |
| rp4 | 1110/369 | Oxidoreductase | Exophiala dermatitidis oxidoreductase (EHY54423.1) | 52 |
*The plausible function of each encoded protein was deduced from the protein homolog of the BLASTP search and its functional domains.
