+ denotes K_a > K_s; -, K_a < K_s; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. Number ranges represent codon positions based on the complete coding sequences prior to removal of indels for alignment. Human codon positions are given for comparison with previous functional studies. Number in parentheses is a p value greater than 0.05.
