    Opposite directions in homologous proteins

    I am analyzing protein uncharacterized bacteria so far, which have a transmembrane domain and a coiled coil domio with low identity that other characterized protein of another bacteria phylum. In prediction programs, I observed that this protein has a Coiled coil domain in C' terminus, right in the periplasm, contrary to this, the protein that is apparently homologous has the coiled-coil in the N' terminus also targeted to the periplasm.
    I can not find examples of homologous proteins which have opposite directions.

    How sure are you that these are actual proteins?

    Because both coils and transmembrane doamins can come as well from wrong annotations.
    Especially some XXX in the genome sequence will lead to coils, and even intergenic regions will display some sort of transmembrane or periplasmic domains just be chance.

      Hello Dear
      Yes, I am sure that this proteins are well annotated.
      I attached an scheme of protein topology.

        My next guess would be that in both cases either start or end are missing.

        If not...good luck, seems interesting.

          16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
          by SEQadmin2




          NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
