Figure 1. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of PUFA elongases cloning from C. angulata (KY012771) with those from C. nobilis (KF245423), O. vulgaris (AFM93779), Xenopus tropicalis (NP001011248), Siganus canaliculatus (ADE34561), Gallus gallus (NP001184237), and Homo sapiens (NP068586). Identical residues are shaded black and similar residues are gray. The threshold for similarity shading was set at 25%. Indicated is the conserved histidine box motif. Seven (I-VIII) putative membrane-spanning domains (underlined with dashed line) were identified using TMHMM 2.0, five of which (I, II, V, VI, VII) were predicted by Tvrdik et al. (2000)
