Use the amino acid sequence from above to answer the following questions.
Use a protein BLAST search to identify potential homologs in the organisms indicated in the table below. Include the gene name and E score for the top result.
Organism | gene name | E score |
Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
|
|
Drosophila melanogastor |
|
|
Caenorhabditis elegans |
|
|
What does the E score mean?
Using the E score as a rationale, which organism(s) has a clear homolog?
Which organism(s) does not have a clear homolog?
Based on what we discussed in class for each organism (unicellular vs metazoan), use no more than a few short sentences to speculate why one organism might encode the protein and another may not. Your reasoning should include reference to the type of protein and how it works in general terms.
