A significant sequence homology was found between a thermostable beta-galactosidase from Sulfolobus solfataricus and two beta-glucosidases, respectively, from Caldocellum saccharolyticum and from Agrobacterium sp. These glycosidases appear to form a new protein family, since no homology could be detected with established beta-galactosidase or beta-glucosidase families.

D016415	Sequence Alignment	The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
