Figure 4.

Alignment of amino acid sequences of chicken chemokine receptors with human CCR1. Alignment gaps are indicated by dashes. Sequences with identical amino acid in at least 50% or 85% of the chicken chemokines are highlighted in gray and dark gray, respectively. Asterisks represent the conserved cysteine residues. ED and ID denote extracellular and intracellular domains, respectively. Seven transmembrane spanning domains of chicken chemokine receptors were predicted using the SMART program and these consensus domains are indicated with a box. The N-terminal sequence of chicken CXCR2 is currently unknown.
