Functional classification of Trypanosoma cruzi ESTs. The transcripts with putative identities to proteins other than highly abundant gene families in T. cruzi were divided into functional categories. The largest groups were genes involved in protein synthesis and metabolism. The group designated protein destination included genes for protein modification, folding, and proteolysis and the group named others mainly contained genes with protein kinase, DNA-binding, and Zn-finger motifs (www.genpat.uu.se/tryp/tryp.html).
