FIG. 2.

Nucleotide and amino acid sequence of LtRBP38. Nucleotide sequence and the predicted amino acid sequence are shown. The putative mitochondrial targeting signal consisting of the first 26 amino acids is shown in boldface italics. The six tryptic peptides used for cloning are highlighted in boldface. The 93-amino-acid fragment expressed for antiserum production is indicated in brackets. For the expression of the full-length gene, the boxed 37 codons, representing rare E. coli codons, were mutated as indicated by lowercase letters.
