Aplysia CaV2α1, CaVβ, and CaV α2δ alternate sequence locations from the available transcriptome data. (A) Cartoon layout of the Aplysia CaV2α1 subunit showing the four (I–IV) domain repeats, each with 6 transmembrane spanning regions. The relative locations of four alternate sequence inserts indicative of alternate cassette exons are highlighted in light grey ovals and numerically labeled; two in the domain I-II linker loop (1&2), one in the C-terminus (5), and one in an extracellular IIIS3-S4 linker (3). The location of an alternate sequence in a constitutive region of domain IV is highlighted in dark, thick line (4). The location of the EF-hand with Y1501 is labeled with a Y. The cytosolic CaVβ subunit has at least two potential isoforms generated with an alternate start site producing subunits with distinct N-termini (6). The extracellular α2 subunit also has a variety of isoforms with two regions coding alternate sequences; the first with three potential sequences (7) and the second site is an alternate cassette exon (8). (B) Table of alternate sequence locations, isoform variations, and specific isoform sequences for the three cloned Aplysia CaV subunits.
