Editor’s summary
Sequence-profile analysis shows that the DNA repair protein AlkB, the extracellular matrix protein leprecan, the disease-resistance-related protein EGL-9 and several uncharacterized proteins define novel families of enzymes of the 2OG-Fe(II) oxygenase superfamily. This allows the prediction of catalytic activity for a wide range of biochemically uncharacterized proteins from eukaryotes and bacteria.

Editor’s summary
Homoplasy denotes the same (parallel) mutations occurring independently in different lineages. It is a scourge of phylogenetic methods. Here, however, it is shown that homoplasy is also an interesting evolutionary phenomenon. Homplasy seems, at least, in part, to underlie the so-called homologous series of phenotypic variation occurring in different, particularly, closely related lineages, an effect first described by the famous Russian geneticict Vavilov some 90 years ago.

Their unusual phyletic distribution suggests KAP proteins were transferred from bacteria to animals by horizontal gene transfer.
