Variability-based sequence alignment identifies residues responsible for functional differences in alpha and beta tubulin.

Abstract excerpt

alpha and beta Tubulin are well-characterized paralogs with similar structures and functions. We quantify the variability of every amino acid position in both tubulins from the aligned sequences of their numerous known orthologs. By aligning the variability profiles, we identify residues that differ significantly in variability between alpha and beta tubulin. Most of these residues are part of well-defined...
