Predicted protein structure of silkworm Fuc-T C3. (A) Predicted structure of silkworm Fuc-T C3. The open reading frame encodes a 450-amino acid protein with molecular mass 52.2 kDa. The black area indicates the putative transmembrane domain (Val-15 to Leu-37) predicted by “TM pred.” Arrowheads indicate the positions of potential N-glycosylation sites. The shaded area (Asp-224 to Ala-408) indicates the region containing typical motifs for 1,3-Fuc-Ts. (The more details are described in Fig. 3.) (B) Hydropathy profile of silkworm Fuc-T C3. The hydropathy plot was calculated by “TM pred.”
