Comparative analysis of the domain organization of the C-type lectin-domain-containing protein. The dataset includes representative sequences of each protein group similar to the putative C-type lectin toxin. The different groups were identified after phylogenetic analysis of BLASTp hits retrieved on Tox-Prot and Uniprot databases associated with an e-value below 1^E-05. To identify domains similar to those of platypus sequence parts, an alignment of the putative toxin and similar hits was performed using BLASTp. Domains associated with an e-value less than 1^E-05 are indicated by colored boxes. The only shared motif is the C-type lectin domain. A sequence logo of the multiple alignment of C-type-lectin domains is represented above. Compared are the rat Rattus norvegicus, the chimpanzee Pan troglodytes, the water snake Enhydris polylepsis, the toadfish Thalassophryne natterei and the pit viper Trimeresurus flavoviridis.
