(A) Domain structure of the C.hongkongensis vasa ortholog. (B) Molecular phylogenetic tree of Vasa subfamily and related proteins. Bootstrap values from 1000 trials are indicated at each branch node. The scale bar indicates 0.05 amino acid replacements per site. C elegans Ce-GLH-1 was used as an outgroup. The transcript encoding Chvasa, indicated by a red open box, is properly aligned to the clade of molluscan Vasa colored by green. The Vasa subfamily proteins are enclosed by the dotted lines. For the GenBank accession numbers of the reference sequences, see S3 Table. (C) Expression profile of C.hongkongensis vasa ortholog (Chvasa) in adult tissues with mean ± s.e.m. as error bars (n = 5).
