Gene organization, protein sequence alignment and domain structure of MARP family members from different species.

(a) Exon-intron structure of human (Hs) ANKRD1 and ANKRD2 and their counterparts in mouse (Mm) and zebrafish (Dr). Exons (boxes) and introns (lines) are drawn to scale. White boxes indicate 5’ and 3’ UTRs. The numbers on the right indicate the length of the genomic region. (b) Amino acid sequence alignment of human, mouse and zebrafish proteins. (c) Schematic representation of the structural domains of human, mouse and zebrafish proteins. The predicted domains are indicated by colored boxes. Domain positions are listed in S2 Table.
