Alignment of representative amino-acid sequences of MHC class I sequences isolated from A. callidryas (Agca), E. prosoblepon (Espr), L. catesbeianus (Lica), L. clamitans (Licl), L. yavapaiensis (Liya) and S. phaeota (Smph). Sequences are aligned to classical MHC class I sequences from A. mexicanum (Amme; U83137), X. laevis (Xela; DQ149606) and human (HLA-A*0201V; AJ621243). Domains are separated according to Flajnik et al. (1991). Numbering is in reference to the consensus amino acids in the alignment. The dots represent amino-acid residues that are identical to the top sequence; dashes represent gaps in the sequences; ▪ denotes disulfide bridge-forming cysteines; ♦ denotes salt bridge-forming sites; ▴ denotes an N-glycosylation site; CD8 box denotes the predicted CD8-binding site; and * denotes the antigen N- and C-termini peptide-docking sites.
