Figure 1.

Nucleotide sequence and predicted amino acid sequence of Nkx-1.2. A portion of the Nkx-1.2 genomic DNA sequence is aligned to the nucleotide sequence and predicted amino acid sequence of an Nkx-1.2 cDNA constructed by assembling two overlapping cDNA clones obtained by RT-PCR with primer pairs +P1 × −P1 and +P2 × −P3. The positions of primers used for RT-PCR experiments are indicated by arrows. Putative TATA boxes and a polyadenylation signal are underlined; putative translation initiation sites are enclosed in boxes. Inverted triangles indicate splice sites shown in Fig. 3.
