Figure 2.

The sequence of TSP9 deduced from the cDNA encoding a full-length precursor protein aligned with the peptide sequences from the isolated protein (Table 1). The nucleotide sequence is in the upper line (lowercase, the start and stop codons are underlined), the precursor protein (uppercase) and the peptide sequences (uppercase, bold) are in the lower lines, respectively. The numbers to the left correspond to the amino acid positions in the mature TSP9. The threonine residues phosphorylated in TSP9 are designated by the lowercase bold t.
