A comparison of the sperm and testis AK8-encoding transcripts and their distinct translated termini. a Potential binding elements for CREM (yellow), FOXL2A (blue) and Y-box (green) are presented. Various different recognition motifs that are duplicated throughout mRNA bodies may bind unknown regulatory proteins (purple). Note the 5′-end and internal differences between the sequences. Different translation start codons (ATG; bold green) are potentially engaged by each transcript. Hatched lines indicate sequence continues upstream or downstream. b Different N- and C-termini in sperm AK8 proteins could result from presentation of alternative start and stop codons (see Additional file 1 for more detail). Potential phosphorylation and myristoylation motifs in the sperm AK8N- and C-termini are highlighted in bold. Hatched lines indicate breaks in aligned residue sequences
