Crypton -derived sequence in an intron of ATF7IP gene. (A) Alignment of proteins coded by deuterostome Cryptons and Crypton-derived sequences. Catalytically essential residues are shown below the alignment. (B) Illustration of the conservation of ATF7IP loci. The position of the YR sequence is indicated by the open box. Black boxes represent exons of the chicken ATF7IP gene. Gray boxes indicate conserved blocks between chicken and respective species based on the Net Tracks of the UCSC Genome Browser http://genome.ucsc.edu/. Lines between gray boxes indicate that boxes are connected by unalignable sequences. (C) Alignment of nucleotide sequences of Crypton-derived sequences.
