  1. a 25-aa signature sequence described by Eisen et al. [19];
  2. Active site residues found into motifs 4 and 8: bD34E and cD38-40E;
  3. Motif similar to Mutator-like transposase domain corresponding to: d pfam00872 and e pfam03108;
  4. f No match between motif and putative conserved domains have been detected.
