mCPEB amino acid sequence and its comparison with related proteins. (A) Predicted amino acid sequence of mouse CPEB compared with Xenopus CPEB. The conserved ribonucleoprotein-type RNA recognition motifs are denoted. The asterisks indicate the cysteine and histidine residues that could form a zinc finger. (B) Schematic representation of a comparison between mCPEB and related proteins from other organisms. The numbers indicate the percentage of amino acid identity of the various proteins with respect to mCPEB. The highest identity (solid box) is found in the carboxyl-terminal portion.
