Criteria:
The Oryza sativa L. genome was searched against the Interpro database by five different methods including HMMPfam, HMMSmart, BlastProDom, ProfileScan and superfamily to find proteins that contain calcium-binding EF-hand motifs. Calmodulin-related proteins were identified based on amino acid sequence identity with rice CaM1 and CBL3 and phylogenetic analysis based on amino acid sequence alignments by ClustalX.
