Fig. 4From: Ancestral and novel roles of Pax family genes in mollusksAlignment of W. argentea Pax genes and bilaterian orthologs. Alignment of predicted amino acid sequences of various bilaterian Pax genes including War-Pax2/5/8, War-Pax6, War-Paxβ, Acr-Pax6 and Acr-Paxβ (labeled with asterisk). The conserved N-terminal PAIRED domain (red), and, if present, the octapeptide (green) and the (partial) prd-class homeodomain (blue) are shown, while the C-terminal transactivation domain is omitted. GenBank accession numbers of all encoding genes used are listed in Table 1 Back to article page
