Comparison of B. malayi and C. elegans MIF proteins. Bm-MIF-1 (accession AAC82502) was aligned with human Hs-MIF-1(AAA21814), C. elegans MIF homologs Ce-MIF-1 (CAB60512), Ce-MIF-2 (CAB01412), Ce-MIF-3 (CAA95795), Ce-MIF-4 (AAG23475), and Bm-MIF-2b (AAF91074). Intron positions are marked by triangles (red, conserved with Hs-MIF-1; blue, Ce-MIF-2, -3 and -4 specific). The proline at position 2 (white) is important for immune function, and the CXXC motif at positions 60-63 is essential for thiol-oxidoreductase activity in mammalian MIF. The percent identity of each protein to Bm-MIF-1 is given at the end of the alignment.
