Question Answered step-by-step The SNF1 protein of yeast encodes a 633 amino acid protein kinase… The SNF1 protein of yeast encodes a 633 amino acid protein kinase required for release from glucose repression. When a BLAST search is done using SNF1 as the query sequence, thousands of proteins are returned as having significant similarity. The results can be divided roughly into two groups. Group 1 has a high degree of amino acid identity (>50%) and the proteins in this group are roughly the same length as SNF1. Group 2 have lower (yet statistically significant) amino acid identity to SNF1. In addition, the proteins in group 2 vary in size compared to SNF1 and only share similarity with the amino terminal 300 amino acids of SNF1. Based on the above information, in which group would you expect to find orthologs of SNF1? Group 2 Group 1 Equally distributed among both groups Biology Science Genetics BI 206 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
