Figure 2From: Diversity of metalloproteinases in Bothrops neuwiedi snake venom transcripts: evidences for recombination between different classes of SVMPsSchematic representation of sequence alignment of cDNAs encoding B. neuwiedi SVMPs. Complete cDNA sequences were aligned using the Blastn program for multiple sequences alignments using as query BnMP-III1 sequence (additional file 1). Boxes represent similarity regions (5'UTR plus mature protein coding regions or 3'UTR) with %identities in relation to the query. Triangles represent positions of complementary regions (⇆) and circles represent the repeated regions (⇉) relatively to BnMP-III1 sequence. DM corresponds to the approximate position of the RGD or ECD motifs in disintegrins or disintegrin-like domains, respectively. Dots represent the gaps corresponding to cysteine-rich or disintegrin-like/cysteine-rich domains introduced to maximize sequence alignments.Back to article page
