Fig. 3

The partially deduced amino acid sequence of the representative clones [JZ880164, JZ880075, JZ880067, and JZ880076] from the most abundant PI-SVMP cluster BC01. Predicted amino acid sequences of transcripts coding for the signal peptide, pro-peptide region, and partial a metalloproteinase catalytic domain with a zinc-binding motif. The signal peptide is highlighted in grey color, and the cysteine-switch motif (PKMCGVT) is bolded. The zinc-binding site is underlined. Each domain is indicated by arrows. The major isoform of cluster BC01 is aligned with BaP1 [P83512.2] from B. asper, atrolysin-C [Q90392.1] from C. atrox, AclVMP-I [Q92031.1] from A. contortrix laticinctus, and AplVMP-I [B7U492.1] from A. piscivorus leucostoma. The  % identity is shown in the figure
