Phylogenetic analyses reveal unique Ig domain composition within individual IpLITRs. The Ig domains compared are indicated by gray shading in the schematics to the left of each phylogenetic tree. a Comparisons of IpLITR, representative FcR and FCRL, and human LRC D1 and D2 sequences. b Comparisons of IpLITR1 D3 and D4 with representative FcR, FCRL, KIR, LILR, and PIRA1 D2 and D3 sequences, as well as NKp46 and CHIRA2 D1 and D2 sequences. c Comparison of IpLITR3 D5 and D6 with D1 and D2 of representative mammalian FcRs, FCRLs, and LILRs/KIRs. The accession numbers for the various Ig domain sequences used are: human (hu)FcγRI(CAI12557), huFcγRII (CAA35642), huFcγRIII (CAA36870), huFcεRI (AAH05912), huFCRL3 (AAH28933), huFCRL4 (AAK93970), huFCRL5 (NP_112571), huFcαR/CD89 (AAH27953), huLILRB1 (AAH15731), huLILRB2 (AAB87662), huKIR3DL1 (AAC83928), huKIR3DS1 (AAV32446), huSIRP (CAA71404), human NKp46 (AJ001383), mouse (mo)FcγRI (AAD34931), moFcγRII (AAA37608), moFcγRIII (NP_034318), moFcεRI (NP_034314), moFCRL3 (AAS91578), moNKp46 (AJ223765), rat (ra) FcγRIII (AAA42050), raPIRA1 (XP_341773), raNKp46 (AF082533), guinea pig (gp) FcγRII (D13692), macaque (mac)FcγRI (AAL92095), bovine (bo)FCRL5 (XP_595289), boKIR3DS1 (AAP33626), boSIRP (CAA71943) chimpanzee (cp)LILRA2 (NP_001009044), orangutan (or)KIR (AAM78473), monkey (mk)KIR3DL20 (AAU50562), CHIRA2 (CAG33731), catfish (Ip)NITR1 (AF397454), and IpNITR2 (AF397455). For all analyses, SIRPs and/or IpNITRs were included as outgroups to root the trees. NJ trees with pairwise gap deletions were drawn using MEGA v3.0 (Kumar et al. 2001) with 10,000 bootstrap replications, and bootstrap values >50% are shown. Branch lengths were measured in terms of amino acid substitutions, and scale bars are shown below the trees
