The DNA sequences of the two genes have no introns and each one contains an ORF of 585 bp in full-length encoding a 195-aa protein. The two genes of aeqxm and aeqxxm share nucleotide homologies of 80.7% and 85.1% with AEVAQ440X respectively, and the corresponding proteins share amino acid homologies of 8...
