We have identified four novel repeats and two domains in cell surface proteinsencoded by the Methanosarcina acetivorans genome and in some archaeal andbacterial genomes. The repeats correspond to a certain number of amino acid residuespresent in tandem in a protein sequence and each repeat is characterized by conservedsequence motifs. These correspond to: (a) a 42 amino acid (aa) residue RIVW repeat;(b) a 45 aa residue LGxL repeat; (c) a 42 aa residue LVIVD repeat; and (d) a 54 aaresidue LGFP repeat. The domains correspond to a certain number of aa residues ina protein sequence that do not comprise internal repeats. These correspond to: (a) a200 aa residue DNRLRE domain; and (b) a 70 aa residue PEGA domain. We discussthe occurrence of these repeats and domains in the different proteins and genomesanalysed in this work.
