Figure 3. Comparison of TRPV3 among representative terrestrial vertebrate species.The schematic structure of the TRPV3 channel (A) is shown and the N- (B) and C- (C) terminal regions of amino acid alignments are indicated. The open circles, gray boxes, striped boxes, and black box represent the putative ankyrin repeat, transmembrane, pore loop, and TRP domains, respectively. The amino acids identical to, similar to, and different from the consensus residues are indicated in red, blue, and black letters, respectively. Exon boundaries for human, mouse, platypus, and chicken are indicated by open triangles and those for western clawed frog by filled triangles. (B) The first ankyrin repeat domain is underlined. Gene structures of TRPV3s in several vertebrate species (D). Exons are indicated by open boxes according to their scale. Introns are indicated by solid lines with their lengths (bp). The open reading frame is indicated by a shaded area with its initiation (Met) and termination (Ter) codons. Gene structures of chicken and platypus were predicted in the genome sequence databases (Ensembl) but not supported by cDNA data thus exons for the 5′- and 3′-UTR regions are not known. Gene structures of human and rat TRPV3s are based on full length cDNA nucleotide sequences and that of the western clawed frog TRPV3 is base on the cDNA nucleotide sequence determined in the present study.
