Figure 4

Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of full-length NP precursor clusters (MCORs) and other NP precursors, including the previously described M. corallinus AAC60341. A repeated region is shown between dashed bars, with the conserved residues in blue. Some "in frame" deletions and insertions, with regard to the previously described AAC60341, are shaded in red and light blue, respectively. The predicted region of mature natriuretic peptide is indicated above the alignment.
