Fig 3. The Sct family of proteins.

Fig 3

The SctA protein was identified by mass spectrometry as the product of the DDB_G0278725 gene. The D. discoideum genome encodes three proteins exhibiting sequence homology to SctA: SctB, SctC and SctD. All Sct proteins harbor a signal peptide (not shown) and a conserved pair of cysteines residues (*). The regions of homology between all Sct proteins were aligned using the Multalin software and treated with Boxshade. The consensus sequence is indicated. The SctC protein contains a long extension rich in glycines and serines, just downstream of the predicted signal peptide (not shown on the figure).
