Figure 1

Bioinformatics analysis of the silkworm BmRNAMTase gene. (a) A schematic representation of the silkworm BmRNAMTase gene; this gene contains two exons. (b) Homologous alignment between deduced amino acid sequences of BmRNAMTase and proteins derived from other species. The asterisks indicate the identical amino acids; the black areas indicate the conserved domains of SpoU-methylase and SpoU. I, II, III represent conserved motifs, respectively.
