Conservation of MIF4GD in Eutheria (Placental Mammals)
Conservation of the protein structure in many organisms, including Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee), Mus musculus (house mouse), Rattus norvegicus (brown rat), Bos taurus (domestic cow) and Danio rerio (zebrafish).
SUMMARY
The protein sequence was transformed into FASTA format
Using Command Prompt and the CD, BLASTed the protein sequence. First used a vertebrate_other database (which produced only 12 significant results), before was finally able to access the nonredundant database with 57 homologous matching sequences and several different species including Homo sapiens, Danio rerio (zebra fish),Mus musculus (house mouse), Bos taurus (domesticate cow), Xenopus tropicalis (pipid frog), Rattus norvegicus (brown rat), Xenopus laevis, Canis familiaris (domesticate dog), Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee), Drosophila melangaster (fruit fly), Drosophila pseudoobscura, Aedes aegypti (mosquito) and Tetraodon nigroviridis (green spotted pufferfish).
The protein seems to be conserved throughout the animal kingdom. Must have a quite important function. Hopefully when the phylogenetic tree is constructed, will get more insight into the evolution of MIF46 domain containing protein.
