The type, number, and order of protein domains was assessed by using Drosophila Ephrin Isoform C (AAN06500) and the putative G. bimaculatus Ephrin (TRINITY_DN159904_c0_g1_i6) as queries in a conserved domain search. In both proteins, an Ephrin domain was present (blue rectangle). Angled lines indicate incomplete G. bimaculatus sequence at the N-terminal end. B) The type, number, and order of protein domains in Drosophila Eph (AAN06503) and putative G. bimaculatus Eph (TRINITY_DN159184_c0_g1_i3) was determined. Both proteins showed identical number, order, and type of domain, which included an eph receptor ligand binding domain (green rectangle), two fibronectin type 3 domains (triangles), an ephrin type A receptor 2 transmembrane domain (red oval), an ephrin receptor protein tyrosine kinase domain (orange rectangle), and a SAM domain (blue square).
