Transactivation domains in the ACE sequence. The primary sequence of somatic pig porcine kidney ACE (GenBank accession number EF121312.1) used in these studies was analyzed for 9-amino acid TAD consensus sequence and cathepsin D cleavage sites using the ExPASy Proteomic tools. Cathepsin D cleavage sites (in italics and highlighted in gray), 6-amino acid TAD (highlighted in black), and ACE active site (bold and underlined in the 10.0-kDa peptide) are indicated. A leucine-rich nuclear export signal predicted in the 8.7-kDa cathepsin fragment (DINYLLKMALE) is underlined.
