1. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of murine Rin (GenBank accession number U71202), human Rin (U71204), murine Rit (U71205), human Rit (U71203), M. racemosusRas3 and Ras2, murine K-Ras2, murine Gem, and human Rad.
Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of murine Rin (GenBank accession number U71202), human Rin (U71204), murine Rit (U71205), human Rit (U71203), M. racemosusRas3 and Ras2, murine K-Ras2, murine Gem, and human Rad. The G1–G5 regions, the position of the Rit and Rin deletions (del I and del II), the conserved basic residues (asterisks), and the location of the C-terminal-most cysteine residue (arrow) in Rit and Rin are indicated. The word “insertion” indicates the position of the 64 bp insertion in the humanRin ESTs. The CAAX motifs in Ras3, Ras2, and K-Ras areboxed, as are the cysteines located seven residues from the C terminus in Gem and Rad. Black and gray shadingindicate sequence identity and conservative substitutions, respectively. Homology comparisons were performed using the BLAST algorithm (NCBI). Sequences were aligned using ClustalW (Higgins and Sharp, 1988) and displayed using BOXSHADE.
