Until recently, 14-3-3s were thought to be present only in the cytoplasm and on the plasma membrane, but now it has been shown that these proteins are also present in the nucleus and within the stroma of the chloroplast. A picture is emerging wherein 14-3-3 proteins play a central role in controlling the primary metabolism of plants, and the question arises whether activities are coordinately regulated by the different 14-3-3 isoforms present in plants. We have identified nine Musa acuminata Assembled EST Sequence (MaAES) positive for 14-3-3 in the database DATAMusa, and further characterized two of them. DATAMusa is a genome database for Musa spp., developed by Embrapa, UCB and CIRAD, and composed of Musa spp. p DNA sequences and Sequence Information. Structural and phylogenetic approaches indicate high homology between these MaAES and 14-3-3 proteins genes already described in mayze, rice and tobacco.  aBanana  aFilogenia  aMusa Acuminata1 aSANTOS, C.
