Figure 1. Figure 1. CLUSTAL W multiple-sequence alignment of -crystallin sequences from human, bovine, rat, and mouse retrieved from the SWISS PROT data bank. Predicted patterns containing specific sites for posttranslational modifications in -crystallin are highlighted. Not all of these sites identified by the PROSITE search were conserved throughout the sequence. Sites that are strongly conserved in the database of -crystallin sequences are marked by arrows.
