What does PolyPhen-2 error mean?

Hi all,

I'm trying use PolyPhen-2 to analyse my protein data. The input is a protein sequence, but I got the error:

ERROR: _calc_ident() Lengths of sequences do not match (len1=565, len2=507)
 at /net/projects/ggi/pph2/perl/PPH/Align.pm line 1618
    PPH::Align::_calc_ident('MAMAEQEVYKYLYKDDIHPVQLLNAFKSFNDHGLFTDVTLCASGVNFQCHKAVLAACSNYF...', 'AG------GLSDGNGINGLIEWKRHMEGVKAELVEEMSCHLKDLLDKAVAETMHSYKRSAL...') called at /net/projects/ggi/pph2/perl/PPH/Align.pm line 1077

Why I got this error? I blast my sequence in NCBI, use uniprot database, The first match is a protein from mouse, query cover is 99%, identity is 77%, mouse sequence length is 558, I also used uniprot blast, the first match is a reptile protein, length is 558. Why the error said len2=507? How can I know which protein sequence does polyphen-2 used? How can I fix this error? Thank you!

polyphen-2

Used shorter tittle for sequence and solved it.
