Fig. 4. Deduced features of peptides coded by peJK2 (A) and peJK3 (B). Transmembrane helices were predicted and analysed using TopPred 2 (von Heijne, 1992) (light grey boxes), SOSUI (Hirokawa et al., 1998), DAS (Cserzo et al., 1997), and ALOM (Klein et al., 1985; Nakai and Kanehisa, 1992) through the PSORT server. The GPCR motif II was detected in peJK2 only using eMOTIF (Attwood et al., 1997). The positions of the predicted signal peptide cleavage sites (VVA-TM), protein kinase C phosphorylation sites (TNK) and nuclear localization signal, pattern 7 sites (PARRAC) (Hicks and Raikhel, 1995) are also indicated.
