a

HXB2 numbering is used as a reference.

b

Degree, number of covarying pairs with the site in the BLOSUM62 covariation network.

c

Selection indicates the results of positive-selection analysis (at 95% posterior probability); null indicates no positive selection.

d

Site indicates the position of the covarying site in the alignment.

e

N-Gly motif, the position of the covarying site in the N-linked glycosylation motif N-X-S/T-X. The position is highlighted in boldface and underlined, and positive/negative numbers indicate the position of the covarying site relative to its closest N-X-S/T-X motif in the sequence. Negative (−) means the covarying site is located on the left side of the motif, while positive (+) means the site is located on the right side of the motif.

f

The sites are in the same N-X-S/T-X motif.
