The relationships between Pfam family PF01432 and the MEROPS subfamilies M3A and M3B. MEROPS peptidase family M3 contains two subfamilies, M3A and M3B, and corresponds closely to Pfam family PF01432. There are 86 unique sequences that belong to both M3 and to PF01432. These sequences are roughly evenly distributed between the two subfamilies, with 45 belonging to MEROPS subfamily M3A and 41 belong to subfamily M3B. In other words the Pfam family PF01432 best matches MEROPS at the family level (M3) rather than at the subfamily (M3A, M3B) level.
