Editor’s summary
The evolutionary history of gene fusions was studied by phylogenetic analysis. Of the 51 gene fusions studied, 31 were most probably disseminated by cross-kingdom horizontal gene transfer, 14 appeared to have evolved independently in different kingdoms and two were probably inherited from a common ancestor.

This study characterizes the KAP protein family - a newly identified sub-group of the P-loop NTPases, which have transmembrane helices inserted into the P-loop NTPase domain. Their unusual phyletic distribution suggests KAP proteins were transferred from bacteria to animals by horizontal gene transfer.

Editor’s summary
The database of Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs) was used to reannotate the genomes of Aeropyrum pernix and Pyrococcus abyssi . A differential genome display approach helps in a systematic investigation of common and distinct features of gene repertoires and in some cases reveals unexpected connections that may be indicative of functional similarities between phylogenetically distant organisms and of lateral gene exchange.

Editor’s summary
Using computational analysis, the amino-terminal module of the D6R/N1R proteins is shown to define a novel, conserved DNA-binding domain (the KilA-N domain) found in a wide range of proteins of large bacterial and eukaryotic DNA viruses. It is suggested to be homologous to the fungal DNA-binding APSES domain; analysis of these domains points to extensive domain shuffling and lineage-specific gene family expansion within DNA virus genomes.

Editor’s summary
Six cases where application of novel or conventional computational methods for protein sequence and structure analysis led to non-trivial predictions that were subsequently supported by direct experiments were analyzed. On all occasions, the original prediction seemed unjustified, and in at least three cases an alternative, well-supported computational prediction, incompatible with the original one, could be derived.

Members of the p24 family of proteins have been shown to be components of the coated vesicles that are involved in the transportation of molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. A sequence-profile analysis method was used to identify a β-strand-rich domain, the GOLD domain, in the p24 proteins and several other proteins with roles in Golgi dynamics and secretion.

Editor’s summary
Bacterial genomes were searched for duplications of ribosomal proteins. Of the four ribosomal proteins for which paralogs were detected in several genomes, three come in two distinct versions. One form contains a metal-binding Zn-ribbon while in the second, the metal-chelating residues are completely or partially replaced. Typically, genomes containing paralogous genes for these ribosomal proteins encode both versions. Lineage-specific gene loss and horizontal gene transfer therefore seem to make major contributions to the evolution of bacterial ribosomal proteins.
