Summary of the similarities and differences within and between the sequences of motifs 1 (A) and 2 (B) among clusters; (C) shows an alignment of the consensus motif 1 (M1) with the consensus motif 2 (M2)

(A,B) * Identity; :, close similarity; ., more distant similarity within the cluster as defined by the ClustalX program. Note: Motif 1 was only found in one protein (Lpl1) in cluster 7 by the MEME program, while the ClustalX program showed conservation of motif 1 in all members of cluster 7. The consensus sequence for motif 1 in cluster 7 is based on all members of the cluster. Three fully or nearly fully conserved residues were found in each motif. These are boxed with a circled asterisk at the top of the alignment. Other less well-conserved residues are also boxed but not indicatd by a circled asterisk. (C) |, identity; :, close similarity; ., more distant similarity as defined using the GAP program. The residues indicated in motifs 1 and 2 are the dominant residues at the various aligned positions
