^aDescribed proteins and known functions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Chen et al. [55]), along with the accession number of the R. irregularis ortholog gene candidates
^bAs shown in Additional file 3
^cBased on the R. irregularis transcriptome data (Tisserant et al. [36])
^dTwo proteins in R. irregularis and S. cerevisiae showed close similarity to each other because they share the same high mobility HMG-BOX proteic domains
