FIGURE 1.

Nucleotide sequence comparison of the frameshift site of S. cerevisiae-related antizyme mRNAs. Species names are abbreviated as follows: S.ce., Saccharomyces cerevisiae; S.pa., Saccharomyces paradoxus; S.ba., Saccharomyces bayanus; S.mi., Saccharomyces mikatae; S.ku., Saccharomyces kudriavzevii; C.gl., Candida glabrata; S.ca., Saccharomyces castellii; A.go., Ashbya gossypii; S.kl., Saccharomyces kluyveri; K.th., Kluyveromyces thermotolerans; K.wa., Kluyveromyces waltii; Y.li., Yarrowia lipolytica. Absolutely conserved nucleotides are highlighted in red. Highly conserved nucleotides are highlighted in blue. The highly conserved nucleotides also present in S. pombe, S. octosporus, and S. japonicus are indicated by an asterisk underneath. The frameshift site is underlined.
