Figure 2From: Looking for the bird Kiss: evolutionary scenario in sauropsidsMallard duck cloned genomic sequence encompassing Kiss2-like ORF. Nucleotides (top) are numbered from 5′ to 3′. The amino-acid residues (bottom) are numbered beginning with the first residue in the open reading frame (ORF). The asterisks (*) indicate the stop codons delineating the ORF. The predicted Kp2(10) peptide is shaded in grey and the predicted C-terminal proteolytic and alpha-amidation site is shaded in black. The predicted putative splice acceptor sites (AG) located between the stop codon and the region encoding the Kp(10) are coloured in red, and the preceding T/C rich sequences are underlined.Back to article page
