Figure 2.
Structure-based multiple sequence alignment of SelM and Sep15 homologs. Assigned secondary structure elements for SelM and Sep15 are indicated above each sequence with α-helices colored blue and β-strands colored orange. Strictly conserved residues are shown in blue, and moderately conserved residues are shown in red. The active-site redox motif, including the selenocysteine residue (U), is colored green and is located between the C terminus of strand β1 and the N terminus of helix α1. The following accession numbers were used to generate this alignment: human SelM (27805722); mouse SelM (23956246); zebrafish SelM (29648551); human Sep15 (6094261); mouse Sep15 (20140242); zebrafish Sep15 (68053306); rat Sep15 (20139870); mosquito (18389881); fruit fly Sep15 (24666045). This alignment was produced with 3D-COFFEE (53).
