Figure 1. Genomic organization of Am5-ht2α and Am5-ht2β genes.

Figure 1

The Apis mellifera genomic database (Amel_4.5) was screened with the Am5-ht2α and Am5-ht2β cDNA sequences. The figure shows the splicing pattern of the Am5-ht2α (upper part) and Am5-ht2β (lower part) genes. Nucleotide sequences of exons are given in upper-case letters and nucleotide sequences of introns are given in lower-case letters. Full-length and truncated receptor variants are displayed schematically. Boxes represent exons, and bent lines represent introns. The position of the seven trans-membrane domains is highlighted by black bars. Exons containing a frameshift are indicated in gray. The seven exons of the Am5-ht2α gene are completely covered in the genomic contig NW_001253562. The six exons of the Am5-ht2β gene are dispersed in three genomic contigs (A: NW_001262451, B: NW_001252966, und C: NW_001262048).
