The alignment of conceptual translations of the four candidate novel mouse genes of the family 1-8 of IFN-inducible proteins with representative sequences from rainbow trout (Q8QFL3) and rat (Q9R175). A conserved motif characteristic for the members of interferon-induced 1-8 family of proteins in mice, rats, humans, cattle, and trout is shown with the alignment. Capital letters in the consensus motif stand for identical residues, + for conserved residues (aliphatic—I,V,L, or M; positively charged—K or R; aromatic—F,Y, or W), and x for any residue. The ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 active site motif in 1810061A10 [25] and a similar motif in 4930507H06 are shaded. SPTR stands for SWISS-PROT/TrEMBL database [15], and RI stands for RIKEN clone.
