Fig. 1. (A) Amino acid sequence comparison (single
letter code) of the Xenopus laevis LAP2 (X) and
LAP2b of Rattus norvegicus (R). The membrane
spanning domain is underlined in the rat sequence.
Bold printed letters represent amino acids identical in
both proteins. Proteins contain 518 (X) and 452 (R)
amino acids. Gaps (marked by dots) have been
introduced in some areas of the sequences to allow
their optimal alignement. The XLAP2 sequence has
been published under accession no Y17861 in the
EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database. (B) Schematic
drawings of rat LAP2b and Xenopus LAP2. Domains
of XLAP2 that show a high degree of identiy with the
chromatin/chromosome binding domain, the
lamina/lamin B1/B2 binding domain, and the
transmembrane domain (TM) of the rat LAP2b have
been marked with the same patterns. The degree of
identity between both molecules in these regions is
given as a percentage (%) below XLAP2. Two XLAP2
domains not contained in the rat protein are marked in
black. The positions of individual amino acids has
been marked on top of each molecule. Image published in: Lang C et al. (1999) Copyright © 1999. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, The Company of Biologists Ltd. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
