Conserved splice sites map to conserved protein domain sequences. Parts of consensus sequences of conserved domains from serine threonine kinases (A; CDD# cd00180) and small GTPases (B; CDD# cd00180) from the CDD database are shown in bold on top, while short sequences from different eukaryotic kingdoms containing a conserved splice site are aligned with this consensus sequences. Identical amino acid residues to consensus sequences are shown in red, homologous amino acid residues in blue and no amino acid homology in black. Colour scheme is identical to the one used by the CDD search at NCBI. Arrow heads indicate (conserved) intron position and phase. To the right of the sequence, the abbreviation of the gene annotation is shown.
