Fig. 5

Shared synteny for SLC9C and pseudogenization of SLC9C and ADCY10. A. The upper panel shows synteny block comparisons around SLC9C among lizard, coelacanth, spotted gar, and white-throated tinamou. The lower panel shows an alignment of representative protein fragments of sNHE from lizard, coelacanth, spotted gar and the deduced amino acid sequence of a predicted exon obtained from white-throated tinamou (PE of Tinamu). B. The upper panel shows synteny block comparisons around SLC9C among postman butterfly, monarch butterfly and fruit fly. The lower panel shows an alignment of representative protein fragments of sNHE from the two butterflies (bf) and the deduced amino acid sequence of a predicted exon obtained from the fruit fly (PE of Fly). C. An alignment of representative protein fragments of sAC from lizard, chicken and white-throated tinamou (Tinamu) and the deduced amino acid sequences of three PE obtained from the turkey, duck, and pigeon. In synteny blocks, the arrangement reflects the order and orientation of genes in each indicated chromosome. In the case of the white-throated tinamou, the name of the unplaced genomic scaffold is indicated instead of the chromosome number. Chromosomes (Chr) are not represented to the scale of base-pair length. In all alignments, coloured highlights indicate ≥50% conserved (blue) and similar (pink) amino acid.
