FIGURE 2.
Phaeodactylum tricornutum putative GFT (PtGFT) exhibits strong amino acid identities with other eukaryotic GDP-L-fucose transporters. Multiple alignments of GDP-L-fucose transporters protein sequences from H. sapiens (NP_060859.4; SLC35C1 gene), M. musculus (NP_997597.1; SLC35C1 gene), C. griseus (NP_001233737.1; SLC35C1 gene), C. elegans (NP_001263841.1; nstp-10 gene), D. melanogaster (NP_649782.1; Dm_Gfr gene); A. thaliana [NP_197498.1; At5g19980 (GFT1/GONST4) gene], and PtGFT (XP 002177476.1) with the MUSCLE program (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/; Edgar, 2004). The figure was created with the Espript program (http://espript.ibcp.fr/ESPript/ESPript/index.php; Robert and Gouet, 2014). The two red arrows highlight the glycine residues positions 171 and 266, respectively, in the PtGFT_XP_002177476.1 sequence.
