Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of KAA-1. a Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the cDNA encoding KAA-1. The stop codon is shown as an asterisk. The italicized and nonitalicized numbers represent the positions of nucleotides and amino acids, respectively. Initiating methionine is indicated in italic. The 20 N-terminal amino acid sequence elucidated in Kawakubo et al. (1999) is underlined. b Comparison among deduced amino acid sequences of KAA-1 and KAA-2, and the sequence predicted by peptide mapping for native KAA-2 (see Fig. 2). Lowercase letters in native KAA-2 sequence represent the corresponding sequences in ESA-2. Amino acid substitutions among KAAs were boxed. The nucleotide sequence data of KAA-1 and KAA-2 appear in the DDBJ, EMBL, and GenBank databases under accession number LC007080 and LC007081, respectively
