(A) Comparison of the linear schematic organization of Luqin precursors in mollusks: Ac-Luqin identified in Aplysia californica (101), Ls-Luqin (LyCEP: Lymnaea CardioExcitatory Peptide) in Lymnaea stagnalis (104), Af-Luqin (ACEP: Achatina CardioExcitatory Peptide) in Achatina fulica (108), Lg-Luqin in Lottia gigantea, Ip-Luqin in Idiosepius paradoxus, and Cg-Luqin in Crassostrea gigas (27). (B) Comparison of the linear schematic organization of NPF precursors in gastropods: Ac-NPF in A. californica (109), Ls-NPF in L. stagnalis (93), and Lg-NPF in Lottia gigantea (27). Signal peptides, proteolytic processing sites, and C-terminal glycines for amidation are indicated by distinct labels. CPON, carboxy-terminal peptide of NPF; PRMP, proline-rich mature peptide. For Ac-Luqin precursors, the respective encoding exons are indicated as E1, E2, E3, E4, and E5.
