Domain organization and sequence alignment of Japanese flounder caspase proteins. a Schematic protein domain architecture of Japanese flounder caspase proteins. CARD: caspase recruitment domain; DED: death effector domain; CASc: caspase, interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) homologues. b Multiple alignment of the amino acid sequences of Japanese flounder caspase proteins. The CARD domain, DED domain and CASc domains are boxed in red, yellow and purple, respectively. The conserved QACR/QG pentapeptide active site motif in all the JfCaspase proteins is denoted with stars. The numbers on the right-hand and left-hand sides are the numbers of amino acids in the JfCaspase proteins. The GenBank accession numbers of the caspase proteins from Paralichths olivaceus are ARI72010.1 (caspase 1), XP_019948600.1 (caspase 2), AFC60626.1 (caspase 3), XP_019956800.1 (caspase 6), and XP_019955218.1 (caspase 8)
