Fig. 1. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of EqtIV. The putative prepro-sequence and
polyadenylation signal are underlined. The Arg±Gly±Asp motif is doubly underlined. The termination
codon is marked by an asterisk. Numbering of the mature protein is shown in parentheses. The
sequence of the EqtIV precursor presented here has been submitted to GeneBank under accession
number AF057028.
