Fig. 2. Sequence alignment of basigin protein family members. Identical residues are marked in black and similar residues in yellow. Only the extreme C-terminus of D-basigin 298 is shown (last line). The first 50 amino acids (aa) of D-basigin 298 are not homologous to the first 24 aa of D-basigin 265. Then, the two proteins are identical for the 240 aa from residue 25 in D-basigin 265 (corresponding to residue 50 in basigin 298) through to the end of D-basigin 265. There are eight additional aa at the C-terminus of D-basigin 298. D-basigin 298 accession number CG31605-PG can be found at NCBI or flybase{at}bio.indiana.edu.
