Promoter regions of channel Nups 58 and 62 have diverged in closely related species. (a,b) Sequence alignment of the Nup58 and Nup62 promoter regions from closely related species. Nucleic acids changes from D. melanogaster are indicated in black. Transcribed parts of the Vha13 and CG7997 5′UTR and the Nup58 and Nup62 5′UTR are indicated by a line. (c,d) Plot of cumulative differences along the sequence (G) between the relative occurrences of indels and their position from the alignment of the gene region around Nup58 and Nup62 between D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. sechellia, D. yakuba and D. erecta. Positions in the alignment with significant stretches of substitutions are identified by black line(s).
