Diversity of Eukaryotic Translational Initiation Factor eIF4E in Protists

<table>Comparison of the sequences of selected eIF4E-family members from <i>Perkinsus marinus</i> with related species from <i>K. veneficum </i>and trypanosome species. Alignment of the amino acid sequences of selected established eIF4E-family members from <i>P. marinus</i> with related species from <i>K. veneficum</i>. Amino acid sequences were aligned with T-coffee using the BLOSUM62MT scoring matrix in CLC Main Workbench. To facilitate comparison of the sequences, the residues conserved in Class I eIF4Es in multicellular organisms are indicated and numbered as in human eIF4E-1: W43, W46, W56, W73, W102, W113, W130, W166, and S209.</table>
