Amino acid sequence of seladin-1. The domains with homologies to oxidoreductases are marked in black, and regions with homologies to diminuto-like proteins inC. elegans, Arabidopsis thaliana,Pisum sativum, and Mycobacterium leprae/tuberculosis are underlined. Conserved regions within the family of FAD-dependent oxidases are printed initalics. The region for non-covalent FAD binding is marked with a dotted line. The first 21 amino acid residues represent a putative signal peptide. Two possible caspase recognition motifs are marked with a star.
