Figure 4.

Gene/RNA sequence alignment of the two md-MT isoform genes (10md-MT and 9md-MT) of A. biplicata. The gene sequences correspond to the detected RNA sequences because introns are lacking in the two 9md and 10md-MT genes. The orange boxes indicate the respective start sequences and the stop codon. The N-terminal repetition domains (N1–N9) are highlighted through green arrows, whereas the C-terminal domain is marked in blue. Dots represent identical nucleotides present in both md-MT genes; base replacements between the two genes are indicated by respective letters. The missing sequence of the N6 domain within the 9md-MT gene is shadowed in grey.
