Figure 5.

Partial predicted amino acid sequence encoded by Npr3 gene compared among species. Amino acid sequence is numbered according to mouse sequence. The three mutation sites are boxed as follows: shaded box, lgj allele; normal box, lgj^2J allele; striated box, stri allele. Bold underlined amino acids denote sequencing discrepancies with previous published cDNA sequence, which leads to three changes in the predicted amino acid sequence resulting in a protein that shares three more conserved residues among species.
