The canine kit2 sequences show distinct chiroptical features.

<p>CD titrations of 4 µM canine (d_kit2 and d_kit2_A16 in Panels A and B, respectively) and human (h_kit2 in Panel C) sequences with increasing concentrations of KCl (0–60 mM) in 10 mM Tris pH 7.5, 25°C. In Panel D the relative variations of the d_kit2_A16 CD signal recorded at 260 and 295 as a function of metal ion concentration are reported.</p

The human and canine kit1 sequences share a common G-4 fold.

<p>CD titrations of µM d_kit1 (Panel A) or h_kit1 (Panel B) with increasing concentrations of KCl (0–200 mM) in 10 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 25°C. The induction of G-4 folded form was supported by TDS (Panel C) and quantified from the variation of the CD signal at 260 nm (Panel D).</p

Melting temperatures of the tested sequences determined from the analysis of the variation of the CD signal recorded at 260°C/min was applied.
