^aGenBank accession number or protein ID of the best BLAST hit, followed by the E-value and percent (similar/total amino acids) similarity between the query and the best hit.^bDesignation based on the deductions possible via bioinformatics tools listed in Section 2. Functional classification based on the result of protein BLAST search.^cNA: not applicable; putative function of the product was not identified.^dSimilar to FGENESH 21 [26].
