Sequence analysis of Sin1. a Analysis of the amino acid sequence of Sin1. The signal peptide is depicted in italics and underlined, the RXL domain is highlighted in purple, and clusters that are rich in N and Q are presented on a red background. The transmembrane helix is highlighted in orange and the cytosolic domain in blue. The N-terminal signal peptide and the transmembrane helix were identified using the SignalP v.4.1 [47] and TMHMM v.2 [48] webservers, respectively. b Schematic of the domain arrangement in Sin1. SP signal peptide, RXL RXL domain, tm transmembrane helix, cyt cytosolic domain
