Fig. 4. Identification of potential protein isoforms of FILIA in mice.
(A) Predicted primary structure of 48 kDa (upper) and 38 kDa (lower)
isoforms with 440 and 346 amino acids, respectively. N-terminal peptide
immunogen common to both isoforms is underlined (black) and regions (amino
acids 120-350 and 120-340, respectively) containing a 23 amino acid repeat are
indicated by a dashed line (black). Sequences unique to each are bold and
italicized. The
50 kDa band (Fig.
2A) containing the presumptive 38 kDa isoform was digested with
trypsin and microscale mass spectrometry identified peptides (red) common to
both isoforms. (B) FILIA contains a novel, 23 amino acid tandem repeat
(120-350 amino acids) defined by RADAR
(Heger and Holm, 2000). Amino
acids are color-coded: aliphatic, red; uncharged polar, green; acidic, blue;
basic, yellow; neutral, magenta. (C) Fluorography of in vitro
translation with [35S]methionine of FILIA cDNA encoding the 1.6
(lane 1) and 1.2 (lane 2) kb isoforms of FILIA protein after separation by
SDS-PAGE. Molecular masses (kDa) are indicated on the left.
