| | | | This gene encodes a protein predicted by Eisenberg and coworkers, with 52% accuracy, to be mitochondrial. |
| | | | Proteins localized to a given organelle by experiments tend to share a characteristic phylogenetic distribution of their homologs, called a phylogenetic profile. |
| | | | For instance, mitochondrial proteins can be identified effectively by their phylogenetic profiles. |
| | | | By applying phylogenetic profile analysis to the C. elegans genome, Eisenberg and coworkers inferred that this gene, along with 2-4% of all the nuclear genes in C. elegans, encodes a mitochondrial protein. |
| | | | The large fraction of organism-specific and eukaryote-derived genes suggests that C. elegans mitochondria perform specialized roles absent from prokaryotic mitochondrial ancestors. |
