FIG. 1.

Sequence alignments of the N-terminal domain of four L. major amastin members and one L. infantum amastin member. The L. major amastin homologs present on chromosomes 8 and 34 (LmjF08.0800 and LmjF08.0820; four more identical copies, LmjF34.0960, and LmjF34.0970) and the L. infantum homolog LinJ34.0860 (previously reported as LinJ34.0860) (21) are shown in this alignment. The 11-aa amastin signature sequence is underlined. An asterisk means that amino acids are identical in all sequences shown in the alignment. A colon means that conserved substitutions are observed, and a period means that semiconserved substitutions are observed.
