From: Missense and nonsense mutations in melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene of different goat breeds: association with red and black coat colour phenotypes but with unexpected evidences

Figure 2

Identified SNPs and alignment of the MC1R protein regions around the deduced amino acid substitutions. a) Sequence electropherograms for the five SNPs are reported both for the two homozygous and the heterozygous genotypes. b) Alignment of the goat MC1R protein regions around the corresponding position of the mutated nucleotides with the same protein regions of other species (GenBank accession numbers: sheep, [CAA74298]; cattle, [CAB64818]; pig, [NP_001008690]; horse, [NP_001108006]; human, [NP_002377]; elephant, [ABG37018]; cat, [NP_001009324]; dog, [AAC33737]; fox, [CAA62349]; mouse, [NP_032585]; rabbit, [CAJ57383]; chicken, [BAD91484]; zebrafish, [AAO24742]). The amino acid substitutions for the three missense mutations and the insertion of a stop codon for the nonsense mutation are reported. Dots indicate the same amino acid of the goat protein.
