Figure Lengend Snippet: a Phylogenetic relationship of a set of curated FReD-like proteins encoded in the genomes of Bu. truncatus and Bi. glabrata . Each branch tip is labelled with an existing FReD classification system for Bi. glabrata (shape) or species (colour). Posterior probability (pp) values are indicated, and groups are numbered (1 to 7). Proteins with predicted signal peptide (SP) domains are indicated with cyan boxes. A distinct colour represents each FReD class, with gene accession numbers boxed. # Bu. truncatus ortho-groups inferred from proteins of Bu. truncatus , Bi. glabrata , Aplysia californica , Elysia chlorotica and Pecten maximus (cf. Figure ). b Tertiary structure models for FReDs of Bu. truncatus employed for enhanced classification (A–F). C-terminal domain (*), as well as IgSF-like and α-helix and/or β-sheet structures, are shown.
Article Snippet: A group of lectin-like proteins, homologous to fibrinogen-related proteins of Bi. glabrata (FReD; InterPro identifier IPR036056), were also inferred for Bu. truncatus ( n = 130).
