Fig. 2From: Molecular characterization of a new IgZ3 subclass in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and comparative expression analysis of IgH transcripts during larvae developmentAlignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of CcIgZ3 with homologues from different species. Multiple sequence alignment was performed using Clustal X version 2.1 with the default parameters. The conserved cysteine (C) residues that formed the intrachain disulfide bonds are marked with boxes, and the first conserved C within the CH1 domain for interchain disulfide bond formation is indicated with an asterisk. The conserved tryptophan residues for the folding of the IgSF domain are marked with a hash. The GenBank accession numbers of the IgH sequences used for alignment are Ci_IgZ (ABY76180), Ci_IgZ2 (ABF19723), Dr_IgZ2 (ACH92959), Dr_IgZ (AAT67444), Cc_IgZ1 (BAJ41037), Cc_IgZ2 (BAJ41038)Back to article page
