299 proteins. To investigate whether species that possess only genes of the mutS1 family lack this conserved sequence completely, we searched the nonredundant NCBI protein database, using the 90 residue C-terminus of the B. subtilis MutS2 sequence as a query for an iterated PSI-Blast search (http://www3. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/cgi-bin/BLAST/nph-psi_blast) with default parameters. Interestingly, among the sequences that produced significant alignments after the first iteration, we identified a small (~ 200 residue) protein in Escherichia coli and Treponema pallidum that contains this conserved region (E values were 10 6 and 10 5, respectively). When these two sequences are included in the PSI-Blast query for the second iteration, together with the MutS2 sequences, a second E. coli homologue is retrieved with a significant score (E 10 5). A likely homologue is also detected in
