Figure 1. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the amelogenin in Chalcides viridanus and C. sexlineatus. The non-coding exon 7 sequence at the 3' end is shown only for C. viridanus. Underlined = 3' region of the signal peptide; boxed = proteolytic sites of TRAP43 and 45; bold = remarkable amino acids; 2|3 = limit between exon 2 and exon 3. (-) = nucleotide/residue identical; (*) = lack of nucleotide/residue.
