Alignment of the amino acid sequences of the cDNA encoding NaStEP and NaSoEP proteins. The black boxes under the alignment indicate the degree of sequence consensus. Arrowheads indicate the potential signal peptide cleavage sites. Cysteine residues are marked with an asterisk. Putative glycosylation sites are single underlined. Presumed vacuolar sorting signals are boxed. The antigenic region is double underlined. A dash in the sequence indicates a gap introduced to maintain a good alignment.
