spGpx1 and its homologs contain 3 conserved motifs. A Locations of the motifs in GPxs. The motifs were detected by the MEME Suite (Version 5.4.1). Motifs 1-3 are labelled in green, red and blue, respectively. B Sequence logos for Motifs 1-3. The sequence logos of the motifs derived from S. pombe, S. cerevisiae and human GPxs were generated using the MEME Suite. The height of each amino acid indicates the level of conservation at that position. Amino acid residues are highlighted according to the biochemical properties of the amino acid residues. The catalytic residues Cys, Gln, Trp and Asn (Tosatto et al. 2008) are indicated by stars
