Figure 1. Sequence alignment of the LAPTM family of proteins.

Figure 1

(A) ClustalW [49] amino acid sequence alignment of the LAPTM4 family members LAPTM4a (GenBank:AAH03158.1), 24 kDa-LAPTM4b (short) (GenBank: AAH31021.1), 35 kDa-LAPTM4b (long) (NP_060877.3) and LAPTM5 (GenBank: AAI06897.1). Putative transmembrane regions (predicted by SMART [50]) are highlighted in yellow, PY motifs are bold and underlined, and the UIM motif of LAPTM5 highlighted in blue. (B) PY motifs in the C-terminal tails of LAPTM4a and LAPTM4b are indicated in bold. Putative Tyrosine-based motifs are underlined. The dileucine motif is indicated in green (italicized), with the bold Leu shared with the PY motif. Tyrosine residues shared by tyrosine-based and PY motifs are indicated in red.
