Sequence identity was determined using the GAP program of the Wisconsin GCG sequence analysis package. Values shown in bold are for the protein sequences. ND, Not determined for pairs of partial sequences with no overlapping regions of similarity.

^aTruncated at 5′-end/N terminus.

^bSequence contains a gap with a predicted length of 180 bp (60 amino acids).

^cTruncated at 3′-end/C terminus.

^dTruncated at 5′-end/N terminus and 3′-end/C terminus.
