Figure 4From: Molecular organization and chromosomal localization of 5S rDNA in Amazonian Engystomops(Anura, Leiuperidae)Comparison of the 5S rDNA sequences of Engystomops with 5S rDNA sequences available in the GenBank. Alignment of the presumed coding regions of the type I and II 5S rDNA sequences of Engystomops freibergi (Acre) and Engystomops petersi (Yasunà and Puyo) with the 5S rDNA sequences of other vertebrates obtained from the GenBank (accession numbers: AF250511, AF284728, AF284742, AY271269, S73107, M24954, V00647, J01009, M35055, J01010, M30904, M35176, M63899, V01425, V01426, X12622, X12623, X12624, M74438, X58365, X58368, X58367, M10817, X01309, V00589). The internal control regions are in gray (A box = positions 50 to 64; intermediate element = positions 67 to 72; C box = position 80 to 97). Note that the control regions of the Engystomops type I 5S rDNA sequences are more similar to those found for the other vertebrate 5S rDNA sequences than are those of the Engystomops type II 5S rDNA. Ooc: oocyte-type. Smc: somatic-type.Back to article page
