FIG. 4.

Nucleotide sequence of part of the plNC8 locus and deduced proteins. Putative promoter −35 and −10 sites and RBSs are indicated by boldface. Vertical arrows indicate the cleavage sites in the PLNC8α and PLNC8β native peptides and the beginnings of the respective mature peptides. Direct repeats (L and R) upstream of plNC8B are indicated by lines under boldface letters. A potential Rho-independent transcription terminator is indicated by arrows downstream of orfC. Stop codons are indicated by asterisks at the ends of the protein sequences.
