Figure A3.

Prediction of three Kiss ORFs from the coelacanth genome. Nucleotide and deduced amino-acid sequences of the ORF encoding the coelacanth Kp1(10) (A), Kp2(10) (B), and Kp3(10) (C). Nucleotides (top) are numbered from 5′ to 3′. The amino-acid residues (bottom) are numbered beginning with the first amino-acid residue encoded by the ORF. The asterisk (*) indicates the stop codon. The predicted Kp(10) are underlined. The amino-acids of the C-terminal α-amidation and cleavage site are shaded in gray.
