Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequence of the cell-cycle RodA protein with the National Research Foundation protein sequence database shows that the 370-amino-acid RodA, a protein that is essential for wall elongation in Escherichia coli and maintenance of the rod shape of the cell, is highly analogous, in terms of primary structure, with the Bacillus subtilis SpoVE protein involved in stage V of sporulation.
将细胞周期相关的RodA蛋白的预测氨基酸序列与国家研究基金会蛋白质序列数据库进行比较后发现，370个氨基酸的RodA蛋白（对大肠杆菌细胞壁伸长及维持细胞杆状形态至关重要），在一级结构方面，与参与芽孢形成V阶段的枯草芽孢杆菌SpoVE蛋白高度相似。
