Figure 2From: A novel surface protein of Trichomonas vaginalis is regulated independently by low iron and contact with vaginal epithelial cellsTV44 amino acid sequence alignment with proteins of BLAST search. The corresponding proteins of Entamoeba histolytica [XM 645307.1], Saccharomyces cerevisiae [P 53040], Arabidopsis thaliana [AY463621.1], Homo sapiens [AAH18115], and Candida albicans [XM 711022.1] were aligned by the Clustal W program. The conserved residues are indicated by black shading, and similarity is indicated by grey shading. TV44 had partial homology to transcription initiation factor (TFIID) of E. histolytica (13% identity) and S. cerevisiae (16%). TV44 had homology to the TATA-binding protein associated factor of A. thaliana (15%) and H. sapiens (13%) and, in addition, to the RNA pol II transcription factor of C. albicans (17%).Back to article page
