Alignment of conserved amino acids in Gig1 proteins. Gig1-homologous proteins in different species were identified by BLAST searches and were then aligned using ClustalW. Two very highly conserved sequence motifs, labeled motif A and motif B, are boxed. The Gig1 orthologs are labeled by the initials of the organisms from which they come and include representatives from four different fungal phyla and an algal virus. Ro, Rhizopus oryzae; Ca, Candida albicans; Um, Ustilago maydis; Sp, Spizellomyces punctatus; Pb, Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus.
