GLUTAMINASE - Phylogenetic tree construction - The amino acid Cys (C) was found to be statistically significant in mesophilic bacteria as compared to the abundance of this amino acid in extremophilic bacteria - Statistical analysis revealed GRAVY to be high in thermophilic (2.29 fold) and psychrophilic bacteria (3.3 fold) as compare to mesophilic bacteria - Phylogenetic tree construction - Grouped the glutaminases into their respective classes: - Mesophiles -Thermophiles - Psychrophiles - Halophiles -Sequences representing L-glutaminase from extremophiles were analyzed -Physico-chemical properties were studied to relate these observed differences to their extremophilic properties - Multiple sequence alignment revealed the domain/motif for glutaminases - Domain/ motif consisted of Ser- 74, Lys-77, Asn-126, Lys-268, and Ser-269, which is conserved in all microorganisms GLUTAMINASE
