Figure 3

Intron positions and phases of TcTRPA5 and AmTRPA5. Protein-level alignment of TcTRPA5 and AmTRPA5 is shown. Identical amino acids are indicated by asterisks, and the conserved amino acids are shown by either dots or colons. Ankyrin repeat and ion transport domains are shown by blue and green, respectively. Intron positions are indicated by digits corresponding to the phase of the intron relative to the surrounding codons (phases 0, 1 and 2 introns fall before the first, second and third bases of a codon, respectively) in red. Delta indicates the absence of an intron. Introns 1, 2, and 4 of AmTRPA5 are located in the alignment gap regions. One intron in the ion transport domain-coding region of both TcTRPA5 and AmTRPA5 shares the same position and phase (indicated by red bold letters).
