Tyrosinase family pseudogenization in Molgula occulta. The figure points out the presence of premature stop codons (red) and frameshift insertions (magenta) in genomic sequences of Tyrp.a (a) and Tyr (b). A reconstruction of the active site of the proteins has been obtained using the SMART Web site [58]. Certain Mooccu.Tyr alleles are characterized by the presence of transposable elements (yellow) inserted just upstream of the active site (b)
