Molecular characterization of <i>Macrobrachium rosenbergii</i> neuroparsin, NPF, SIFamide, and sulfakinin.

Abstract

<p>The schematic diagrams show the organization of putative neuropeptide precursors of the <i>M</i>. <i>rosenbergii</i>, including signal peptides (blue), putative proteolytic cleavage sites (red), C-terminal glycine residues responsible for amidation (green), Cys residues, and putative neuropeptides (yellow). Precursor sequence alignments are shown with site of putative neuropeptide denoted with a yellow bar. Conserved amino acids are shown in black shading while similar amino acids are shown with grey shading. Mro, is <i>M</i>. <i>rosenbergii</i> and for other species abbreviations see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0123848#pone.0123848.s003" target="_blank">S1A Table</a>.</p
