Alignment was carried out with MAFFT version 7. Identical amino acids are indicated by asterisks. Conservative and semi-conservative substitutions are indicated with colons and periods, respectively. Black arrows indicate consensus transport motifs (CTMs). Blue arrowheads indicate positions of introns. Black boxes indicate functionally important amino acid residues.
