Fig. 1From: Zmat2 in mammals: conservation and diversification among genes and PseudogenesOrganization of the human ZMAT2 locus and gene. a. Diagram of the human HARS-HARS2-ZMAT2 locus on chromosome 5. Exons are depicted by lines and boxes (red for HARS, blue for HARS2, black for ZMAT2), with coding regions solid and non-coding regions white. The direction of transcription for each gene is indicated and a scale bar is shown. b. Map of the human ZMAT2 gene. Coding regions are in black and noncoding segments in white. A scale bar is shown. c. Diagrams of human ZMAT2 mRNA, as characterized in (Baral K, Rotwein P: The story of ZMAT2: a highly conserved and understudied human gene, manuscript submitted). Coding regions are labeled in black and non-coding segments in white. The length is indicated in nucleotides (nt) as are the number of codons in the open reading frame. d. Schematic of human 199-residue ZMAT2 protein, with NH2 (N) and COOH (C) terminal (term), and zinc finger (ZnF) regions labeled and color-codedBack to article page
