  1. Phylum conservation of 937 U{1:1} genes and 20,000 random nuclear genes was obtained by BLASTp of conserved unique A. thaliana proteins against the Uniprot database. Gene number (column 1) shows the relative number of genes with a sequence similarity suggesting homology in different phyla. Subcellular localization (column 2–4) was retrieved from the FLAGdb++ database. ER means Endoplasmic Reticulum. Promoter regions of the A. thaliana genes were analysed for the presence of TATA (column 5) and TELO (column 6) boxes as previously described in Table 1 and the Methods section.
