2.2 Database Searches for CssHSP Gene Family Members in
Tea Plants
Hidden Markov model (HMM) profiles of all sequences containing an HSP
domain (PF00011) were used to search the Tea Plant Genome Database
(http://tpia.teaplant.org/index.html)38.
The sequences of the CssHSP s were analyzed with ExPASy ProtParam
(http://www.expasy.org/tools/protparam.html)
to obtain the number of amino acids, molecular weight, theoretical
isoelectric point (pI), and instability index (Table S1 ).
