FIGURE 2. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the CMO2 among ferret, human, and mouse.

FIGURE 2

Identity is indicated in yellow among three species and in blue between two species. The four conserved histidines (indicated by a single asterisk) and one glutamate (indicated in double asterisks) existed in the ferret CMO2, which has been demonstrated as putative iron-binding residues in all oxygenase family members (10). There CMO family signature sequence is underlined. The nucleotide sequence for the carotene 9′,10′-monooxygenase gene of ferret has been deposited in the GenBankTM with accession number AY527150.
