| Abstract: | Background Rhomboids are ubiquitous proteins with diverse functions in all life kingdoms, and are emerging as important factors in the
biology of some pathogenic apicomplexa and Providencia stuartii. Although prokaryotic genomes contain one rhomboid, actinobacteria can have two or more copies whose sequences have not been
analyzed for the presence putative rhomboid catalytic signatures. We report detailed phylogenetic and genomic analyses devoted
to prokaryotic rhomboids of an important genus, Mycobacterium. |
