Comparison of the conserved core regions of Class I eIF4E-family members from species of Nematoda. A. An alignment of amino acid sequences representing the conserved core regions of Class I eIF4E-family members from the species of Nematoda indicated and of H. sapiens eIF4E-1. Amino acid residues within the alignment are highlighted as described in the legend to Figure 3A with the following exceptions: residues shaded in black indicate amino acids identical in all eIF4E-family members with respect to regions that could be predicted; residues shaded in grey indicate amino acids identical in all eIF4E-family members from nematoda with respect to regions that could be predicted that differ from equivalent residues in H. sapiens eIF4E-1. Numbers to the right of the alignment represent distances of amino acids with respect to the N-terminal Met residue (black) or, for eIF4E-family members for which the N-terminal Met could not be predicted, from the first residue shown (red). B. A phylogram constructed by neighbor-joining derived from an alignment of nucleotide sequences representing the conserved core regions of the eIF4E-family members indicated. Bootstrap values greater than 70% derived from 50,000 tests are shown to indicate supported nodes. For A and B: names of eIF4E-family members in red indicate that only a portion of the conserved core region could be predicted.
