Cloning of sequences coding putative calcium transporters in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum
By BlastP/TBlastN analysis in the Phaeodactylum tricornutum sequences from the Ensembl Protist database, a putative member of the UPF0016 family which is classified in the PANTHER PTHR12608:SF6 subfamily (transmembrane protein 165) was identified. 2 transcripts variants of the Phatr3_J6052 gene were subsequently cloned and sequenced.
