Figure 2. Location of polymorphic positions in the Nv-NF-κB protein and gene.

Figure 2

(A) As indicated, ten protein-coding differences were identified in a comparison of laboratory strain-derived Ser67 and Cys67 alleles. Six of the variable residues are in the highly conserved Rel Homology Domain (RHD). At each variable position, the amino acid encoded by the Cys67 allele is depicted above the diagram, and the amino acid encoded by the Ser67 allele is depicted below the diagram. The full-length Nv-NF-κB protein is 440 amino acids long (scale bar at bottom). (B) The locations of polymorphic amino acids are shown relative to the structure of the Nv-NF-κB gene. (C) The region of the Nv-NF-κB gene amplified in the population genetic survey extends from exon two to exon four, including two introns. The variable nucleotide positions identified in this survey are numbered from 1–7.
