Streptomyces coelicolor kinesins

Streptomyces coelicolor

















I tried looking on the TIGR website to see if my species was there, but unfortunately it wasn’t. So I went to the Sanger Institute website mentioned in one of the previous posts, which has a specific BLAST server for Streptomyces coelicolor. I fiddled around on this site, which has some nice links in the sidebar, allowing you to do things like perform DNA motif searches, look at protein clusters, inspect the clone map, and find general information about S. coelicolor. I then did a tblastn search under “S. coelicolor genome sequence EMBL entries” and got the following results of 4 distinct kinesins:

Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)

Segment 20/29
Score: 213
E value: 2.9e-10

Segment 13/29
Score: 102
E value: 0.19

Segment 5/29
Score:98
E value: 0.95

Segment 8/29
Score:102
E value: 0.999

Overall, the Sanger Institute website was helpful. I did feel like there were some drawbacks in the BLAST searching. For example, there were not as many search options available as there are on the NCBI BLAST site. But it was a useful site, and had a lot of information on many species.
