Alias indicates the corresponding motifs identified by Stracke et al. [1]. E-value was calculated by MEME. Consensus sequences follow the criteria of Joshi et al. [44]: a single capital letter is given if the relative frequency of a single residue at a certain position is greater than 50% and greater than twice that of the second most frequent residue. When no single residue satisfied these criteria, a pair of residues was assigned as capital letters in brackets if the sum of their relative frequencies exceeded 75%. If neither of these two criteria was fulfilled, a lower-case letter was given if the relative frequency of a residue is greater than 40%. Otherwise, x is given.
