Fig. 2.

Sequence logo alignment showing the amino acid sequence of individual salmonid Akirin1 proteins (4 species) compared with nonsalmonid teleost Akirin1(1) proteins (5 species), Akirin1 of tetrapods (3 species), and Akirin1 and 2 across vertebrate lineages (58 species). Amino acids are color coded by biochemical property and are vertically scaled to represent their conservation at that site. Blue and red stars indicate type II sites in salmonid Akirin family members at the D2 and D3 levels, respectively. Residues underlined with black lines indicate putative nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Residues underlined with purple lines indicate putative phosphorylated sites conserved across the 4 salmonid species. A scale bar is shown on the black line splitting the first and second halves of the alignment.
