TABLE 1.
Sequence comparison of pentalysine clusters from T. pseudonana silaffins
The numbering of the amino acid positions is according to Ref. 22 for silaffins Sil1, -2, and -3, and according to Ref. 43 for Sil4. The artificial pentalysine cluster, PLCart, has been designed to contain only lysine (bolded) and serine residues and to match the spacing of lysine residues of PLC1. AA, amino acid.

|---|---|---|---|
| Sil3 | 62–73 | KAAKLFKP--KASK | PLC3nt |
| Sil3 | 189–200 | KAAKIFKG--KSGK | PLC3ct |
| Sil1 | 430–442 | KATKTLKVS-KSGK | PLC1 |
| Sil2 | 420–432 | KVSKSGKSS-KSSK | PLC2 |
| Sil4 | 47–58 | KAAKLFKP--KSSK | PLC4a |
| Sil4 | 213–226 | KATKVFKSSGKSGK | PLC4b |
| KSSKSSKSS-KSSK | PLCart |
