Fig. 3. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of TC14s. (A) TC14-2. Shaded letters indicate N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of P18, determined by peptide microsequencing. (B) TC14-3. Shaded letters indicate N-terminal amino acid sequence of P15. Letters marked by dots are Kozak’s consensus motif, those with a double underline are the signal peptide and those with a single underline are the polyadenylation signal. (C) Multiple alignment of TC14-1, TC14-2 and TC14-3. Four half cysteines (asterisks) are conserved perfectly. Carbohydrate-binding amino acids, E,N, and DD, are also conserved. A box indicates sequence similarity to E-selectin. These sequence data of TC14-1, TC14-2 and TC14-3 are available from EMBL/GenBank under accession numbers AB049563, AB049564 and AB049565, respectively.
