Figure 2. The non-conventional CUG-translation initiation site of Bmf is conserved among mammals.

Figure 2

Alignment of Bmf genomic DNA sequence derived from various mammalian species. All but equus contain the conserved exon 1 encoding a putative translation initiation site (ATG1). All available mammalian Ensemble sequences contain exon 2 with the Kozak-flanked CTG and the originally defined ATG2 translation start site in exon 3. Arrows indicate putative transcription start sites found in ESTs from embryonic ovary and heart tissue. SA = splice acceptor, SD = splice donor site.
