Fig. 1. Analysis of the predicted Xdazl amino acid sequence. (A) Amino acid
sequence of Xdazl derived from the full-length cDNA. (B) Diagram showing domains
and features of the Xdazl protein. N and C indicate the amino and carboxyl termini
respectively, numbers show positions of amino acids beginning with the first in frame
methionine. The gray box delineates the RNP domain, while the black stripes show the
positions of the RNP-2 hexamer and RNP-1 octamer amino acid motifs respectively.
The striped region represents the position of the putative DAZ repeat. Expanded above
is the Xdazl sequence in that region compared to a consensus DAZ repeat. Periods
indicate gaps in the sequence alignment. The table below the diagram shows the
homology of Xdazl to other DAZ-family proteins in percent amino acid identity and
similarity. (C) Sequence alignment of the Xdazl RNP domain. Identical residues are
shaded black; similar residues are shaded gray. Periods indicate gaps in the alignment.
The RNP-1 and RNP-2 motifs are indicated below and above the alignment,
respectively. The GenBank accession number for the sequence reported in this paper is
