Figure 10 Domain structures of proteins containing a fucolectin domain. In addition to Xenopus pentraxin 1 (XP-PXN), which has a fucolectin domain in its N terminus (23), a homology search using the complete Drosophila genome sequence data, compiled recently by Celera Genomics (25), identified a fusion protein (D-FW) comprising fucolectin and selectin domains. Pentraxins are a family of acute phase reactants with a lectin domain. Selectins are adhesion molecules with a lectin domain, several complement repeats, and a transmembrane span. Numbers on theright indicate the total amino acid residue number. For the fucolectin-like sequences of these chimeric proteins, see Fig. 4.eFL, eel fucolectin; FL, fucolectin domain;D-FW, Drosophila furrowed protein; TM, transmembrane span.
