Fig. 1. Derrière protein sequence
and alignments. Amino acid
residues are shown. Numbers at
left indicate amino acid
positions. (A) Derrière protein
sequence. Arrow indicates signal
sequence cleavage site predicted
by von Heijne algorithm.
Maturation cleavage signal
(RAKR) is boxed. These four
amino acids are substituted with
GVDG in Cm-Derrière. The
mature region of Derrière protein
is underlined. The seven
cysteines within the mature
region are underscored with solid
bars. (B) Alignment of Derrière
protein sequence to Xenopus Vg1
(Vg1), zebrafish Vg1 (zVg1),
chicken Vg1 (CVg1) and
incomplete newt Vg1 (nVg1).
Consensus amino acid residues
in proteins are shaded. Sequence
gaps introduced for optimal
protein alignment are indicated
by dashes. The percentage
identities between full-length
Derrière and other Vg1-related
proteins are 56% (xVg1), 51%
(cVg1) and 50% (zVg1), with
mature region identities of 79%
(xVg1), 73% (cVg1) and 76%
(zVg1). Image published in: Sun BI et al. (1999) Copyright © 1999. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
