There are two tenascin-Cs in pufferfish. A. Analysis of the genomic sequences of Tetraodon nigroviridis (T.n.) and Takifugu rubripes (T.r.) reveals that each species of pufferfish had two tenascin-C genes. The repeat and domain organization of the paralogous genes are illustrated here. All four have a putative integrin binding motifs (kgd, rgd or kge) in the third FN type III domain. B. The C-terminal FReDs (underlined in red) of the two tenascin-Cs from Tetraodon nigroviridis are highly conserved. Identical residues are boxed in blue and similar residues are boxed in yellow.
