Figure 2. Genomic location, structure and deduced amino acid sequence of SnTox1.

Figure 2

A. SnTox1 genomic region. SnTox1 is located in supercontig 10 of the assembled SN15 genome sequence and is surrounded by four other predicted genes (boxed arrows, SNOG7153 to SNOG7156). A short truncated molly-type retrotransposon sequence (gray rectangle) closely follows SnTox1. B. SnTox1 gene structure. The full length transcript of SnTox1 and contains three exons (black rectangles) and both 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions (white rectangles). C. SnTox1 amino acid sequence. SnTox1 protein contains 117 amino acids with the first 17 (in bold) being a predicted signal sequence. The 16 cysteine residues are underlined. D. The alignment of 11 different SnTox1 protein isoforms. Two regions of SnTox1, from 36 to 87 and 97 to 117 are shown to indicate the variable amino acid positions (arrows). The remaining amino acids, (except for the cysteine residues) are shown as stars, indicating they are conserved.
