Figure 5. Alignment of Lynx1, lynx2 and PSCA ly-6 proteins.

Figure 5

Proteins were aligned using the Clustal Omega alignment tool. The conserved cysteine residues that define the family are shown by a triangle. The putative GPI cleavage site as predicted by PredGPI is boxed [78]. * indicates fully conserved amino acids other than Cysteine, : indicates conservation of strongly similar amino acids, . indicates conservation of weakly similar amino acids. The secreted ly-6 proteins slurp-1 and slurp-2 are not included in the alignment, but if they were they would lack the C-terminal hydrophobic residues and the GPI cleavage site, but would still maintain the conserved cysteine residues.
