Alignment of the tarantula RLC isoforms to scallop, Drosophila and chicken smooth muscle RLCs. The abbreviations and accession numbers for the RLC sequences aligned are: MLR_AEQIR, Aequipecten irradians (Bay scallop) striated adductor muscle RLC (P13543); MLR1_As, Aphonopelma sp. (Tarantula) skeletal muscle RLC major isoform; MLR2_As, Aphonopelma sp. (Tarantula) skeletal muscle RLC minor isoform; MLR_Aa, Avicularia avicularia (pinktoe tarantula) myosin II RLC (ABW76151); MLR_DROME, Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly) myosin RLC 2 (P18432); MLRM_CHICK, Gallus gallus (Chicken) myosin RLC2 smooth muscle major isoform (P02612). Dot indicates identity with the top sequence; Dash indicates a gap inserted for spacing purposes. The putative MLCK phosphorylation sites of tarantula RLCs and the conserved MLCK phosphorylation sites across the species are labeled in red. The Glycine residues important in the interaction of the RLC with the MHC in scallop and conserved in tarantula and chicken are labeled in blue. The MGD motif involved in binding both MHC and ELC in scallop RLC is in bold. The conserved Glycine residues in the MGD motif across the species are in blue.
