Figure 3

Amino acid alignment of the region between transmembrane (TM) regions 7 and 9 of the α sub-unit of SEC61. Putative cold-adapted amino acid substitutions are indicated at positions 327, 328 and 339. Invertebrate-specific substitutions are labelled in red on the consensus line, insect-specific substitutions labelled in blue and the single potential bivalve-specific substitution labelled in green.
