NLP-22 is similar to Neuromedin S. (a) Alignment of NLP-22 preproprotein with orthologs from four nematode species. High conservation (gray box) is observed in the predicted neuropeptide sequence. (b) Amino acid sequence similarities (gray boxes) between NLP-22 and vertebrate Neuromedin S peptides. The preproprotein structure of human Neuromedin S and NLP-22 is also shown. Each has an N-terminal signal sequence and a single, c-terminal peptide. The preproprotein is drawn to scale (Bar = 10 Amino Acids) (c) Predicted structures of NLP-22 and of NMS. The conserved GR dipeptide and FRP tripeptide motifs are shown in white.
