Figure 3.

The distribution pattern of conserved motifs between Vav2 and Vav3 molecules. The conserved motifs (recurring, fixed-length patterns) were discovered with the online tool Multiple Em for Motif Elicitation (MEME) as described in Materials and Methods. The number and the widths of conserved motifs were set as 25 and 5–20 amino acids, respectively. The abbreviations of protein functional domains are the same as described in Figure 1. Light gray columns show the conserved motifs between Vav2 and Vav3 groups and dark gray columns mark the diversified motifs between Vav2 and Vav3 group. The protein accession numbers are included in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
