- * G10 protein signatures *
- **************************
-
- A Xenopus protein known as G10 [1] has been found to be highly conserved in a
- wide range of eukaryotic species. The function of G10 is still unknown. G10 is
- a protein of about 17 to 18 Kd (143 to 157 residues) which is hydrophilic and
- whose C-terminal half is rich in cysteines and could be involved in metal-
- binding. As signature patterns, we selected two of these cysteine-rich
- segments.
-
- -Consensus pattern: E-x-L-C-C-x-[KR]-C-x(4)-[DE]-x-N-x(4)-C-x-C-R-V-P
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-
- -Consensus pattern: C-x-H-C-G-C-[KRH]-G-C-[SA]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
