Fig.1. t\ucleotide sequence of gp43 eDNA and its deduced amino acid sequence. The eDNA is composed of 1423b.p. containing one open read1ng frame that encodes a polypeptide with 460 amino acids. The sequence in the thicker lined box indicates the poly(Aj+ signal (AATAAA) overlapping with the stop codon (TAA: indicated as an asterisk). Underlines indicate sequences ot the peptides (27p, 21 p, 13p, 9p, and 3p in this order from theN-terminus) obtained by lysyl endopeptidase-digestion of gp41. All the amino acids N-terminally adjacent to the peptides are Lys or Arg, indicating that the peptides were released by digestion of gp41 with lysyl endopeptidase. Broken underlines show tentative N-glycosylation sites. The N-terminal sequence analysis of gp41 gave an amino acid sequence identical with 15 amino acids indicated in the box with thinner lines. An arrowhead indicates a tentative digestion site with a signal peptidase. Thesequence data will appear in the DDBJ, EMBL, and GenBank nucleotide sequence databases with the following accession number D86568. Image published in: Kubo H et al. (1997) Copyright © 1997.
