Title

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The two-domain structure of seed storage globulins was inferred to originate from cyanobacterial two-domain oxalate decarboxylases.
- Observation The evolutionary pathway of single-domain germins was traced back.
- Observation The inferred root proteins may reflect a pro-cupin ancestral to some cupin superfamily members.
- Observation A beta-barrel in otherwise unrelated archaeal and bacterial epimerases exemplifies structural convergence.
