Figure 8: Evolutionary conservation among vertebrates of mitochondrial peptidyl Cys associated with functional networks. The UniProt database was searched for protein amino acid sequences of 10 vertebrate species for the peptidyl Cys associated with functional pathways in Figure 7. The species included human (Homo sapiens), Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii), bovine (Bos taurus), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), Western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis), zebrafish (Danio rerio) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The percentage of identity relative to humans was calculated for each of the Cys (filled circles), and the percentage of amino acid identity relative to humans was obtained from a BLAST search in Uniprot (open circles).
