Fig. 1. Novel Hairy and E(spl) related bHLH-O proteins in Xenopus and
zebrafish are closely related to mammalian Hes2 proteins. (A)
Alignment of vertebrate Hes2 proteins carried out using ClustalW
(Thompson et al., 1994). Amino
acid conservation (using BLOSUM similarity score matrix, max. diversity=30) is
depicted as follows: dark grey, identical; light grey, strongly similar; grey
letters, weakly similar; dashes, gaps. (B) Sequence similarities
between XHes2 and other vertebrate bHLH-O proteins. The phylogenetic tree is
based on the comparison of full-length protein sequences. GenBank Accession
Numbers are Xl.Hes2 (DQ156231), Xt.Hes2 (DT430701), Hs.Hes2 (XP_375684),
Mm.Hes2 (NP_032262), Br.Hes2 (CK694128), Xl.Hairy1 (BC070988), Xl.Hairy2b
(AF383160), Xl.ESR1 (AF383157), Xl.ESR5 (AF137072), Xl.HR1 (AB071432), Xl.Hes6
(BJ624139), Xl.HRT1 (AJ401271). Abbreviations: aa, amino acids; Br.,
Brachydanio rerio; Hs., Homo sapiens; Mm., Mus
musculus; Xl., Xenopus laevis; Xt., Xenopus
tropicalis.
