Genomic sequencing of five ''Gossypium'' allopolyploid species, included the two agricultural species of upland (''G. hirsutum'') and Pima (''G. barbadense'') cotton <ref>PMID 32313247</ref>, revealed thousands of encoded uncharacterized proteins that were shared across all five species. Functional characterization of these proteins will contribute to a richer annotation of the cotton genomes and could identify proteins of interest for important agricultural traits. A protein of unknown function (UniProt: A0A1U8MGX4) encoded by gene Gohir.A02G044702.1 in ''Gossypium hirsutum'', was studied using sequence and structure bioinformatic tools leading to a proposed function as a nuclear, DNA-binding B3 transcription factor of the REM subfamily. | Genomic sequencing of five ''Gossypium'' allopolyploid species, included the two agricultural species of upland (''G. hirsutum'') and Pima (''G. barbadense'') cotton <ref>PMID 32313247</ref>, revealed thousands of encoded uncharacterized proteins that were shared across all five species.
