Comparison of Domain Architectures in the 271 Groups of Common Enzymes

Type of group Number of groups Totals
Identical domain architecture and number of chains80Groups that have same or very similar
Different domain architecture, same number of chains, potentially same16 domain architecture: 179
Same domains in a different order4
Same domain architecture, yeast has more chains with this domain  architecture (likely larger number of isozymes)26
Same domain architecture,E. coli has more chains with this domain  architecture (likely larger number of isozymes)14
Same domain, but either the yeast or E. coli chain has two copies of the  domain (internal duplication)2
Same domains, cases of gene fusion (These correspond to the cases listed in  Table 7; several common enzyme groups can correspond to one fusion  case.)37
E coli has extra domains and/or chains26Groups that have shared domains and
Yeast has extra domains and/or chains21 varied domains: 56
Both organisms have extra domains and/or chains9
No domains shared (non-orthologous displacement)13Groups that do not share domains: 13
Potential cases of non-orthologous displacement (incomplete assignments)6Groups that cannot be classified: 23
Neither E. coli nor yeast chains have any assignment2
Either yeast or E. coli chains have no assignment15
