If I have a inteseted bacteral protein geneor it from pathogene, is there a way that I can find homogeneous protein in human through database searching?

or its related proteins ... The protein we are targeting is gtfb that we study it's binding/ adhesion properties.

Thank you so much! Ivy

protein gene

As far as I have understood, you have some bacterial genes and

you would like to determine if they have some human homologs, am I correct?

This is one of the comprehensive human gene databases:

This post is close to your question to some extent:

How To Find Human And Bacteria Homologs Of S. Pombe Protein.

At least, it discusses ENSEMBLE database.

Many years ago scientists showed the following:

Homologous ribosomal proteins in bacteria, yeast, and humans.

Thank you so much, it's really helpful!
