Fig. 6: Positive selection of amino acids in protein structure.

Protein structure of LAI M2 proteins depicting putative positive selection (orange) in encoded A ND1, B ND2, C ND4, D COII, E COIII, and F Cytb. Structures are estimated with the ConSurf method51 based on homologs of proteins in the UNIREF-90 database, and visualized using PyMOL. Amino acid changes under putative positive selection in LAI M2 as detected by PAML and FEL are colored in orange, with the majority of them residing in transmembrane regions.
