(A) Pairwise comparison between the consensus sequences
of the two subfamilies of TA-I-Ag:
TA-Iα-Ag and
TA-Iβ-Ag. Multiple sequence alignments
of the full-length elements used to create the two consensus sequences
were deposited in the EMBL database (accession nos. DS43384 and
DS43385). The two consensus sequences were aligned by using
gap of GCG (Genetics Computer Group, Madison, WI, Version
10, 1999) with gap weight = 30 and gap length weight = 1.
Thick arrows mark the TIRs, and thin arrows mark the subterminal
repeats. Flanking TA target duplications are not shown. D = A, G,
T; H = A, C, T; K = G, T; M = A, C; N = A, C, G, T;
R = A, G; S = G, C; V = G, A, C; W = A, T; Y =
C, T. (B) Pairwise comparison between the consensus
sequences of the two subfamilies of TA-II-Ag:
TA-IIα-Ag and
TA-IIβ-Ag. Multiple sequence alignments
used to create the consensus sequences were deposited in the EMBL
database (accession nos. DS43376 and DS43377). The two consensus
sequences were aligned by using gap as described in
A. All symbols are as in A.
