Location of predicted amino acid substitutions in HIFα proteins based upon single nucleotide polymorphisms found by sequencing mRNA pooled from 200 Fundulus heteroclitus embryos
| Subunit | Position | Substitutiona | Scoreb | Domainsc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HIF1α | 36 | F/L | 0 | bHLH |
| HIF1α | 361 | E/A | −1 | Between PAC and ODD |
| HIF1α | 370 | E/Q | 2 | Between PAC and ODD |
| HIF1α | 630 | T/A | 0 | Between ODD and TAD-C |
| HIF2αa | 87 | A/T | 0 | Between bHLH and PAS-A |
| HIF2αa | 165 | K/R | 2 | Between PAS-A and PAS-B |
| HIF2αa | 441 | H/P | −2 | ODD |
| HIF3α | 37 | V/G | −3 | bHLH |
| HIF3α | 300 | T/P | −1 | Between PAS-B and PAC |
| HIF3α | 413 | E/D | 2 | Putative prolyl hydroxylation motif |
| HIF3α | 422 | S/P | −1 | Between PAC and ODD |
| HIF3α | 502 | T/A | 0 | ODD |
The first amino acid shown for each substitution is from HIF1α*1 (ALL26120.1; this study), HIF2αa [ALL95711.1 (44)], or HIF3α*1 (ALL26129.1; this study).
Values are from BLOSUM62 alignment score matrix (17). Positive scores are conservative substitutions and negative scores are nonconservative substitutions.
bHLH, basic helix-loop-helix; PAS, PER-ARNT-SIM domain; PAC, motif COOH-terminal to PAS domain; ODD, oxygen-dependent degradation domain; TAD-C, COOH-terminal transactivation domain.
