Figure 3

Occurrence of Cys and Sec in vertebrate SelP sequences. The figure shows amino acids that occur in 20 positions, where Sec is found in vertebrate SelPs. Sec residues are shown by the red letter U, and Cys residues by the letter C. Cys residues encoded by TGT are highlighted in blue and those by TGC in green. Hyphens ('-') indicate that sequence information was not available for this region, and empty cells correspond to the situations where an amino acid residue other than Sec or Cys is used.
