Figure 1.

Alignment of the amino acid sequences of the six copines genes in Dictyostelium. Amino acid sequences of CpnA and CpnB were derived from sequencing of full-length cDNA clones. The other four sequences were predicted from partial cDNA sequences and genomic sequences from the Japanese Dictyostelium cDNA Sequencing Project and Dictyostelium Genome Sequencing Project databases. A consensus sequence is shown above and residues matching the consensus are shaded.
