Fig. 2. Sequence analysis of TashAT1 and TashAT3 and their comparison with TashAT2. (A) Sequence of the predicted translation products of TashAT1 and TashAT3. The potential signal sequence is in italics. The AT hook DNA-binding domain is in bold and the putative transcriptional transactivation domain is underlined. Where the sequence of TashAT1 differs from that of TashAT3 is shown above the relevant sequence of TashAT3. The asterisks mark the end of each sequence. (B) A comparison of TashAT2 with TashAT3. Identical residues are shown in bold. The numbers at the end of the comparison denote the region which is 100% identical between the two sequences. A gap generated by the analysis in the sequence of TashAT2 is shown by a series of dashes. (C) A comparison of the AT hook motifs of TashAT1 and TashAT3 with those of the HMGI(Y) protein. Rows 1-4 are the AT hook motifs of TashAT1/3. Rows 5-7 are those of HMGI(Y). Accession Numbers for the TashAT cluster: TashAT1, AJ291829; TashAT2, AJ132045; TashAT3, AJ291830.
