Transcriptome Analysis of Scorpion Species Belonging to the Vaejovis Genus
Fig 5
Multiple alignment of the sequences corresponding to the peptidic precursors belonging to the NDBP-4 subfamily found in the Vaejovis libraries.
Separate alignments are shown for the signal peptides, the mature peptides and the propeptides, with the number of residues (aa) and the percentage of identity (%I) indicated for each segment. For the mature peptide the prominent sequence features are highlighted with colors and in bold typeface (see text) and the theoretical molecular weight (MW) and net charge (CHG) are also given. In the propeptide region, the post-translational cleavage and amidation substrate sequence is underlined. For comparison, the sequences of IsCT (UniProt:Q8MMJ7.1), IsCT2 (UniProt:Q8MTX2.1), UyCT1 (UniProt:L0GCV8.1), UyCT3 (UniProt:L0GCI6.1), UyCT5 (UniProt:L0GAZ8.1), Hp1090 (UniProt:P0DJ02.1), Pantinin 1 (UniProt:R4JNJ5), Pantinin 2 (UniProt:R4JQZ0), Pantinin 3 (UniProt:R4JJN6), Meucin-13 (UniProt:E4VP07.1), BmKn2(UniProt:Q6JQN2.1) and StCT2 (UniProt:P0DJO4.1) were used.
