Fig. 5. Multiple sequence alignment of the PDZ12 tandem of GRIP from different species. The protein sequences were from rat, human, zebrafish, and fruit fly. In this diagram, residues that are identical and similar are shown in red and yellow boxes, respectively. The secondary structural elements are indicated above the alignment and are colored blue (for PDZ1) and green (for PDZ2). The amino acid residues in PDZ1 that are directly involved in the Fras1 peptide binding are highlighted with triangles, and the residues labeled with asterisks are critical for the interdomain interaction between PDZ1 and PDZ2.
