Deduced protein sequence of C. elegans VMAT and alignment with the human VMAT1 (GenBank accession number U39905) and VMAT2 (GenBank accession number L23205) deduced proteins. The protein sequences were aligned using the PILEUP program (Genetics Computer Group Wisconsin package, version 8). TheCONSENSUS sequence uses uppercase letterswhen all three sequences agree and lowercase letterswhen two of the three sequences are the same. Dots are used in the three VMAT sequences to indicate gaps introduced by the alignment program; hyphens are used in the consensus sequence for sites where all three sequences differ. The 12 putative transmembrane domains, as suggested for the mammalian proteins (Erickson et al., 1992; Liu et al., 1992) are shown as double underlines below the consensus sequence. Putative glycosylation sites (in the large intravesicular loop between transmembrane domains 1 and 2) are shown as double underlines below each of the VMAT sequences.
