Multiple alignments of A) Atg8 and B) Atg12 homologs. The ubiquitin-like fold and the C-terminal glycine are marked in blue. All sequences were obtained from NCBI, SGD and SilkDB database, alignments were performed using the programs MultAlin [56] and ESPript [57]. Species abbreviations are Bm for B. mori, Dm for D. melanogaster, Sc for S. cerevisiae, Rn for R. norvegicus, Mm for M. musculus, Hs for H. sapiens, At for A. thaliana, Am for A. mellifera and Dr for D. rerio.
