>TIGR03473 HpnK hopanoid biosynthesis associated protein HpnK. The sequences represented by this model are members of the pfam04794 "YdjC-like" family of uncharacterized proteins. The member of this clade from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 (AFE_0976) is found in the same locus as squalene-hopene cyclase (SHC, TIGR01507) and other genes associated with the biosynthesis of hopanoid natural products. Similarly, in Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 (Reut_B4902) this gene is adjacent to HpnAB, IspH and HpnH (TIGR03470), although SHC itself is elsewhere in the genome. Notably, this gene (here named HpnK) and three others form a conserved set (HpnIJKL) which occur in a subset of all genomes containing the SHC enzyme. This relationship was discerned using the method of partial phylogenetic profiling. This group includes Zymomonas mobilis, the organism where the initial hopanoid biosynthesis locus was described consisting of the genes HpnA-E and SHC (HpnF). Continuing past SHC are found a ph
