Figure 1.

The nucleotide and the translated open-reading frame amino acid sequence of the precursor-encoding cDNA of a novel peptide, temporin-PKE, was cloned from Pelophylax kl. esculentus skin secretion. The putative signal and mature peptides are underlined by a bold line and a single line, respectively. An asterisk indicates the stop codon. The full nucleotide sequence is numbering on the left-hand side.
