Conservation of glycosylation motif in terrestrial vertebrates.

CLUSTALW2 alignment of OC-STAMP sequences from representative taxa show complete conservation of the Asp residue in a glycosylation motif (bold, underlined) and its amino acid context. It is present in rodents (Mus musculus), ungulates (Bos taurus), giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), primates (Homo sapiens), marsupials (opossum; Monodelphis domestica), birds (Gallus gallus), amphibians (Xenopus (Siluriana) tropicalis), and reptiles (Alligator mississippiensis). Alignments were performed of the whole protein sequences and the number of the last amino acid shown is listed on the right. The GenBank sequences used for the alignments were: gi|21312818, gi|297482088, gi|301787077, gi|225637556, gi|126303342, gi|118100617, gi|564236812, and gi|301607266, respectively.Conservation of glycosylation motif in terrestrial vertebrates.
