EF Scaffolding protein

Link to this post \| posted 15 Mar, 2019 14:36
jawsWPI	The blast and HHPred evidence suggests that Anakin and NarutoRun's gene 16 (also gene 16 in AnnaSerena and Krampus) is the scaffolding protein–see attached document. AnnaSerena and Krampus assign this as NKF. The synteny is almost correct: it precedes the major capsid, BUT there is an intervening NKF gene; all of these gene are in phams that only belong to EF. The question is: is this intervening NKF gene enough to disqualify assigning scaffolding protein as the gene 16 function? (I have been told that the scaffolding protein usually immediately precede the major capsid.) 233Kb
