From: Medaka villin 1-like protein (VILL) is associated with the formation of microvilli induced by decreasing salinities in the absorptive ionocytes

Figure 2

The sequence of VILL was identified in the brackish medaka. (A) Schematic representation of the domains of the villin 1-like (VILL) protein sequence deduced from Odvill. Six putative gelsolin segments (S1-S6) were indicated (red box). The villin headpiece domain (HP) was represented by a blue box. (B) Phylogenic analysis of full-length amino acid sequences of villin and VILL from different species from the Ensembl Genome Browser, shown as a phylogenetic tree created by the maximum parsimony method with 1000 bootstrap replicates. Brackish medaka VILL protein was shaded. (C) Tissue distribution of Odvill detected by RT-PCR in the brackish medaka. The β-actin was used as an internal control. B, brain; E, eye; F, fin; G, gill; H, heart; I, intestine; K, kidney; L, liver; M, muscle; O, ovary; T, testis; NTC, no-template control.
