Identification and Gene Expression Analysis of a Large Family of Transmembrane Kinases Related to the Gal/GalNAc Lectin in Entamoeba histolytica
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
We identified in the Entamoeba histolytica genome a family of over 80 putative transmembrane kinases (TMKs). The TMK extracellular domains had significant similarity to the intermediate subunit (Igl) of the parasite Gal/GalNAc lectin. The closest homolog to the E. histolytica TMK kinase domain was a cytoplasmic dual-specificity kinase, SplA, from Dictyostelium discoideum. Sequence analysis of the TMK family...
