1. The two proteins have swissprot (Refs. 21 and 22) accession numbers Q9KTB7 and O66490. They are almost certainly descended from a common ancestral protein and have, despite their very different sequences, very similar three-dimensional structures. They are both part of the same family of proteins with accession number PS00113. See the PROSITE (Refs. 23 and 24) database of protein families.
