Figure 1From: Characterisation and expression analysis of cathepsins and ubiquitin-proteasome genes in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) skeletal muscleSequence comparison of gilthead sea bream cathepsin D paralogues. Alignment of deduced amino acid sequence of both gilthead sea bream (Sa) cathepsin D paralogues; SaCTSDa [GenBank: AF036319] and SaCTSDb [GenBank: KJ524456], via MAFFT (v7.058b) and G-INS-I method. Symbols: (*) identical residues in both sequences; (:) conservative substitutions and (.) semiconservative substitutions. The putative signal peptide sequence is highlighted in grey and the propeptide region (A1_Propeptide) is underlined and in italics. The predicted N-glycosylation sites (N) and the two aspartyl (D) conserved catalytic residues are shaded in black.Back to article page
