Feleucins: Novel Bombinin Precursor-Encoded Nonapeptide Amides from the Skin Secretion of Bombina variegata

Figure 1

Alignment of open-reading frame nucleotide sequences of cloned cDNAs encoding feleucin-BV1 (FEL BV1) and feleucin-BV2 (FEL BV2) precursors. Putative signal peptide domains are double-underlined, mature bombinin domains are single-underlined, and mature feleucin domains are underlined with dotted lines. Sites of nucleotide sequence differences are indicated (a). Alignment of open-reading frame translated amino acid sequences of cloned cDNAs encoding feleucin-BV1 (FEL BV1) and feleucin-BV2 (FEL BV2) precursors. Putative signal peptide domains are double-underlined, mature bombinin domains are single-underlined, and mature feleucin domains are underlined with dotted lines. Sites of amino acid sequence differences are indicated (b).
