Partial Characterization of Immunoglobulin C Gene of Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Predicts Distinct Structural Features of C1q-Binding Site in C3 Domain
Figure 1
The nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequence of water buffalo germline C gene from an animal of Niliravi breed. The exons (CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4) are shown in block letters, and the intervening intron sequences are indicated in small letters. The deduced amino acids are shown as single letter code above each codon. The Kabat numbering system [7] is used for the codons encoding the domains. The potential N-linked glycosylation sites are underlined. The cattle germline C gene sequence [17] is included for comparison. The dash indicates identical nucleotide or amino acid, and the dot indicates a lack of nucleotide or amino acid.
