Identification of Pentatricopeptide Repeat Proteins in the Model Organism Dictyostelium discoideum

Table 1

Bioinformatic analysis of putative D. discoideum pentatricopeptide repeat candidates. The probability of the helical repeats being pentatricopeptide repeats and the number of motifs were predicted using TPRpred, and the probability of mitochondrial targeting was predicted using Mitoprot.
