The structure of the Huntiella a- and α-factor pheromone pre-proteins. Each block in both the a- and α-factor pheromone columns represents a putative mature repeat, while the number of repeats present in each pheromone is indicated in the next column. The arrows in the α-factor pheromone column represent the signal peptide identified in these proteins. While the structure schematics are not drawn to scale, they are representative of the length of the non-repeat harboring N-terminal of the a-factor pheromone. * The H. tyalla α-factor pheromone contig could not be fully assembled. The sequences of each putative repeat are included in Figs. S2 and S9
