From: Creatine metabolism differs between mammals and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Sequence comparisons between creatine-related genes of trout and other species. cDNA sequences encoding the ORFs of GATM, GAMT and CKM were compared between Oncorhynchus mykiss (Om), Salmo salar (Ss), Takifugu rubripes (Tr), Danio rerio (Dr), Ictalurus punctatus (Ip), Oryzias latipes (Ol), Homo sapiens (Hs) and Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense (Bb). GenBank accession numbers are given in each first column. The figure’s upper part gives an overview over cDNA length, cDNA identity after alignment and protein identity after translation and alignment in relation to trout sequences. Values are shown for GATM (left), GAMT (middle) and CKM (right). High identity levels have a dark background, lower levels a lighter one. Below, the corresponding multiple sequence alignments are shown on protein level. Such regions are shown, that allow a discrimination of the salmonid protein from the proteins of other species. Respective amino acids are encircled. Conserved, identical amino acids are shaded black, similar ones grey. The ruler gives the amino acid position on the trout protein sequence.
