The sequence analysis results showed that mmDC-SIGN and mmL-SIGN have the same domains with other vertebrates except primates, and share some conserved motifs in CRD among all the vertebrates which play a crucial role in interacting with Ca(2+) and for recognizing mannose-containing motifs. In this study, we analyzed genomic organizations, gene structures, and synteny, evolutionary process and expression of miiuy croaker DC-SIGN (mmDC-SIGN) and L-SIGN (mmL-SIGN). Among these fish genomes, genes from TTC8 to ENTPD5 located downstream of L-SIGN had conserved synteny only differing in no RABEPK gene in miiuy croaker and no RABEPK and ALDH6A1 in stickleback. Another phylogenetic tree of L-SIGN genes constructed by Bayesian approach (Fig. 2C ) was used to test the positive selection in ancestral lineages of fishes. ./cache/cord-267234-waz0k0ms.txt ./txt/cord-267234-waz0k0ms.txt
