Fig. 6. Comparison between the Xcat-2
and nanos derived protein sequence. (A)
Cartoon of Xcat-2 and nanos protein.
Numbers refer to amino acid position. The
region of homology between the two
proteins is black and the histone-like
region in Xcat-2 is shaded. Putative casein
kinase II sites are indicated by open
rectangles; protein kinase C sites are
denoted by black rectangles. (B) Region of
homology. Identical amino acids are
enclosed in boxes in the two proteins.
Conserved substitutions are marked as a
vertical bar. The black dots mark the
cysteines and histidines within this region
that are hypothesized to form a zinc finger
motif present in both proteins. (C)
Comparison of the Xcat-2 zinc finger motif
with three other zinc finger families: RNAbinding
family (Green and Berg, 1989);
damaged DNA family (Uchida et al., 1987)
and the protein-protein family (Berg,
1990). Image published in: Mosquera L et al. (1993) Copyright © 1993. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
