Fig. 2. Comparison of Xenopus TRF1s. (a) 5′ UTRs and start of open reading frames for X. laevis and X. tropicalis TRF1. Potential start codons underlined; predicted beginning of open reading frame (MEE) in bold. A variant of the X. laevis RACE product began with nucleotide 7 but was otherwise identical. The middle ATG for X. tropicalis and the first ATG for X. laevis are out of frame. (b) Comparison of predicted amino acid sequences for upstream regions of X. laevis and X. tropicalis TRF1s. X. tropicalis sequence from the upstream in-frame ATG, through the first 3 amino acids of the likely protein, is presented at the top of each pair; 3 possible reading frames of the entire 5′ UTR of the X. laevis transcript are presented below. (c) Conservation of the predicted amino acid sequences of laevis and tropicalis TRF1 proteins. X. tropicalis sequences cloned in this work constitute the first 154 amino acids; the remainder of the sequence was predicted from ESTs. Black and grey backgrounds indicate identical and similar residues, respectively. Image published in: Crumet N et al. (2006) Copyright © 2006. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher.
