Fig. 6. Multiple alignment of ßARK genes from different species. The amino acid sequence of bovine ßARK1 (SEQ 1, Accession no. P21146), human ßARK2 (SEQ 2, Accession no. P35626) and deduced amino acid sequence of Paramecium gene fragment (SEQ 3, Accession no. AF346410) were aligned using the CLUSTAL W program. Identical residues are marked in blue and homologous residues in yellow. Conservative regions, i.e. the catalytic domain and autophosphorylation region, are indicated.
