Figure 1. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of cat, dog, pig, mouse, and human Tetherin/BST-2 homologs.

Figure 1

Cat (CRFK, FL74, and QN10S cells), dog, pig, mouse, and human Tetherin/BST-2 sequences were analyzed and aligned using GENETYX ver. 8 (GENETYX, Tokyo, Japan). The predicted transmembrane domain is boxed. Three Cys residues in the extracellular domain, which are important for dimerization, are shown with a red background. Two putative glycosylation sites are shown with a blue background. Ser residues of the predicted cleavage site prior to addition of a GPI anchor are shown with a yellow background.
