Among the proteins localized on the cell wall (frustule) of diatoms (frustule-associated proteins), several proteins tightly associated with the cell wall have been implicated in frustule formation. These proteins include diatom-specific unique serine- and lysine-rich sequences represented by silaffins. Taking advantage of available genome information, we used a recently described bioinformatics approach to screen silaffin-like proteins rich in serine and lysine from the genome of the marine pennate diatom Fistulifera sp. strain JPCC DA0580 and identified 7 proteins. All of the proteins shared a sequence motif called the XGXG domain, which was also confirmed in a silaffin-like protein identified in other diatoms. In vivo localization analysis revealed that one of the identified proteins, G7408, occurs throughout the frustule with a slightly uneven distribution. This novel frustule-associated protein could be a useful tool to elucidate the mechanism of biosilica formation in diatoms and to functionalize this strain for future biotechnological applications.
