Figure 1

Alignment of the FGFRL1 sequences from eight different species. Identical residues are boxed. The putative signal peptidase cleavage site is shown by an arrow. The three Ig-like domains are marked by brackets. The transmembrane domain is given by a stippled box. Conserved glycosylation sites (NXT) are indicated by asterisks. The relative positions of introns in the corresponding genes are shown by triangles. The sequence that was used for the preparation of the zinc-binding GST fusion protein is underlined. The accession numbers are: FishA (Takifugu rubripes A) BN000669, FishB (Takifugu rubripes B) BN000670, Chicken AJ535114, Frog (Silurana tropicalis) AJ616852, Human AJ277437, Mouse AJ293947, Lancelet (Branchiostoma floridae) AJ888866, Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) FN252817, Sea Squirt (Ciona intestinalis) XP_002125836. From the sea squirt sequence only the conserved domain (residues 112-456) is included.
