Fig. 1. The partial predicted amino acid sequence of Helix aspersa
eIF2
, deduced from translation of the H. aspersa eIF2
cDNA sequence, aligned with the predicted sequences of yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and human eIF2
. Conserved residues
are indicated with an asterisk. The multiple alignment was performed manually
after comparing each of the pairwise sequence alignments made using the
program ALIGN by FASTA (University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA).
