  • Species names indicated here by binomial nomenclature are listed by common name in the legend to Fig. 1. Nucleotide sequence identities are shown in italics; amino acid sequence identities, in plain text. Signal sequences were not included in the amino acid sequence analysis. Sequence identities were determined by the GAP algorithm of the Wisconsin Genetics Computer Group program on-line at the National Institutes of Health.
