  1. *Each entry corresponds to a computationally identified read-through protein in the organism indicated to the left. FASTA files for these recoded protein sequences are provided in the Additional data files. For each recoded protein, the GI number and the functional annotation for a homologous protein are given. †These open reading frames (ORFs) in M. acitovorans were predicted during a repeat search using a BLAST database containing putative methylamine methyltransferase ORFs in M. mazei as identified by our method. Although the M. acitovorans genome was annotated for several pyrrolysine-containing methylamine methyltranferases, this was not the case with the M. mazei genome. Thus, several methyltransferases that are specific to these methanosarcina species could not be detected in our original calculation due to the lack of read-through homologs. Such repeat searches were not performed for the two unfinished genomes.
