H. bacteriophora informs C. elegans protein structure function.

Multiple alignment of the EGF-receptor (LET-23) carboxyl tail of Caenorhabditis elegans, briggsae and japonica with H. bacteriophora. 3-way, alignment of the three Caenorhabditis proteins; 4-way, alignment of three Caenorhabditis proteins with Hba-LET-23. *, identity; :, strong similarity; ., weak similarity. Red and green highlight the parts of the protein that have been demonstrated to be important in signaling and localization, respectively. Numbers represent the length of the predicted proteins.
