METHOD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
METHOD This sequence differs by one a.a. from the GenBank sequence AAC53147.1 at
METHOD position 17 where we have mutated an Asn to
METHOD Glu to eliminate a site of N-linked glycosylation.
METHOD
METHOD Alignment of sequences identified in PSI-BLAST indicated that this was a
METHOD cysteine-rich protein. SENSER identified a Bowman-Birk inhibitor in trailing
METHOD end searching. However, closer inspection of this protein family the secreted
METHOD frizzled family indicated that the cysteine pairs were not compatable between
METHOD the two families. Also, secondary structure predictions indicate that the
METHOD secreted frizzled proteins are mostly helical, while the Bowman-Birk inhibitor
METHOD is mostly beta. We looked at other cysteine-rich families, such as myotoxin II
METHOD and protozoan pheromone proteins, none of which had the placement of pairing
METHOD cysteins compatable to the frizzled proteins' cysteines.
