Putative ligand binding residues of Xenopus/Siluriana class Ia and class Ib where predicted based on alignment with human HLA-A.
Cluster refers to phylogenetically related families of XNC/SNC sequences.
- conservation of residue with MHC class Ia; GAP, gap in the sequence such that no equivalent residue is determined.
Bold, unique residue among the differnet XNC/SNC molecules. x/x, equal distribution of two different amino acids (x) amino acid only detected in 1–2 of sequences in the group.
Grey shade, hydrophobic amino acids
