Gene or accession: CG8000
Missed gene
Comments: There is an error in designation of some of the intron boundaries.
Use of EST AI517312 (gi|4420412) which comes from this gene suggests a
probable four/five exon structure encoding a 178 AA protein most closely
related to a 198 AA 'submergence induced' protein from rice (gi|3201969) and
the human version, a 179 AA protein (gi|7023256). Suggested introns boundaries
include 223822-224029, 224089-224182, 224340-224469, 224530-224609. The
encoded protein is a member of the cupin gene family (see Dunwell et al, 2000,
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews  64:153-179 ) that include germins,
germin-like proteins, and 7S and 11S seed storage proteins. The active site
residues of this presumed enzyme comprise the three conserved histidines at
positions 82,84, and 127 and the glutamate at 88 (using numbering of
gi|7294807).
