PRMD9 structure and predicted zinc-finger motifs in the M. bellicosus and C. secundus genomes. (A) Predicted structure of the PRDM9 protein sequence in C. secundus. (B) Predicted structure of the PRDM9 gene in M. bellicosus identified by homology searches. Exons and conserved functional domains are marked. The mapped exons from Zootermopsis nevadensis are also shown. (C) Structure of PRDM9 gene in C. secundus. Exons and conserved functional domains are marked. (D) Predicted zinc-finger binding motif in M. bellicosus. (E) Predicted zinc-finger binding motif in C. secundus.
