Comparison of A.m.Mβ' with Dpn, Hairy and Her proteins. A) Comparison of A.m.Mβ' with A.m.Dpn, A.m.H, D.m.Dpn and D.m.H. The A.m.Mβ' protein belongs to the E(spl)-C, however, has several introns (triangle on top, vertical dashes within sequence). Two of the introns are within the bHLH domain at similar position as in D. melanogaster hairy or dpn genes. The bHLH domain is indicated in purple. B) Alignment of D. melanogaster er Hwith A m.Mβ' protein. Her has only one intron, however, at very similar position as the second intron of A.m.Mβ'. Introns are marked with triangles.
