FIGURE 2.

Conservation of the K-segment sequence. (A) LOGO representation of the MEME output of the K-segment. Amino acids are color-coded by their group type. Blue – positively charged (Lys, Arg, His); red – negatively charged (Asp, Glu); black – hydrophobic (Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Pro, Phe, Met), green – polar (Gly, Ser, Thr, Tyr, Cys), purple – neutral (Asn, Gln). The heights of the amino acids correspond to their conservation at that position. Low probability amino acids may be too short to be seen. (B) Probability-weighted matrix (PWM) of the K-segment sequence. The probability of finding a particular amino acid at a particular position according to the search result. Empty space, p = 0; #, 0 < p < 0.01.
