Figure 3. Patiria miniata F-type SALMFamide precursor.

Figure 3

The sequence of a gene (lowercase) in P. miniata that encodes an F-type SALMFamide precursor protein (bold uppercase, 258 amino acid residues) is shown. The majority of a large intron that separates the two exons is not shown (dashed line) but the 5′ and 3′ regions are shown, including the respective splice sites gt and ag, which are highlighted in bold. The predicted signal peptide of the precursor protein is shown in blue and the nine putative SALMFamide neuropeptides are shown in red flanked by putative dibasic cleavage sites (KR or RR) shown in green. The asterisk shows the position of the stop codon.
