Figure 2. Comparison of the MyD88 gene structures in leech, vertebrates and ecdyzozoa.

Figure 2

(A) The structural organization of Hm-myd88 was deduced after the analysis of the leech genomic library. The exons are boxes marked I-VI; I-V or I-VII. Thick boxes represent the coding regions and thin boxes represent the non coding regions. The introns are given as solid lines. The numbers specify the length (bp) of the exons and introns. On the transcripts, black Δ marked i1-i5; i1-i4 or i1-6 indicate the position of the intron-exon junctions. Letters a, b, c and d point out which leech intron-exon junction is conserved in vertebrate or ecdyzozoa genes. For example, i2b in the human gene indicates that the position of the second intron occurs at the same position as the third intron in leech gene. (B) Percentage of conserved intron-exon junctions between leech gene and vertebrate or ecdyzozoa genes.
