Tracing the Origin of the Fungal α1 Domain Places Its Ancestor in the HMG-Box Superfamily: Implication for Fungal Mating-Type Evolution
Figure 6
Alignment of the conserved region downstream of the MATα_HMG region of representative species from major groups of Pezizomycotina.
The alignment was obtained with ClustalW2 [63] and coloured according to the Clustal X colour scheme provided by Jalview [64]. This colour scheme is displayed in Table S3. The Y-[LMIF]-x3-G-[WL] motif is highlighted in pink in the consensus line.
