[Yeast] retinoblastoma protein

[Valerie Wood]

Not that I have found,
Also no result using YOGY which presents results from some of the main ortholog predictors
http://www.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/PostGenomics/S_pombe/YOGY/yogy-search.pl

and none of the conserved domains are detected in any fungi (click on the 'species icon' from the domain links below to see the species distribution)

However I wouldn't rule it out 100%. We still find universally conserved proteins where the similarities have been overlooked. For example only this week  SPAC6F6.16c (previously orphan) was shown to be the ortholog of  human TPP1 PMID:18535244
