Cortex in most ciliate protozoan contains a membrane skeleton mainly composed of epiplasm, a layer closely apposed to the inner alveolar membrane. In Paramecium, this layer is segmented into independent scales centered on each ciliary apparatus; the epiplasm is composed by a multigenic family of protein called epiplasmins. We performed a structural analysis of this multigenic family. Phylogenic analysis supports a clustering of epiplasmins in 5 groups, each of them subdivided in 2 sub-groups a and b. Using HCA method, we show that these proteins are modular, and that they present various arrangements of their structural domains. Epiplasmins can be regrouped into three classes symmetrical, asymmetrical, and atypical. Analysis of the 5'UTR se...
