| pubmed-article:12192589 | pubmed:abstractText | On the basis of functional and phylogenetic criteria, we have identified a total of 229 subfamilies and 111 singletons predicted to carry out transport or other membrane functions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have extended the Transporter Classification (TC) and created a Membrane Classification (MC) for non-transporter membrane proteins. Using the preliminary phylogenetic digits X, Y, Z (for new families, subfamilies, and clusters, respectively), we allocated a five-digit number to 850 proteins predicted to contain more than two transmembrane domains. Compared with a previous TC of the yeast genome, we classified an additional set of 538 membrane proteins (transporters and non-transporters) and identified 111 novel phylogenetic subfamilies. | lld:pubmed |
