“…1A for details, Wu et al, 1996;Johnston et al, 1997;Cohen et al, 1997;Laufer et al, 1997;Rodriguez-Esteban et al, 1997;Cadinouche et al, 1999;Mikami et al, 2001), including a putative signal peptide, potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a DXDmotif responsible for the glycosyltransferase catalytic activity (Moloney et al, 2000;Brü ckner et al, 2000) and six conserved cysteines that are thought to form disulfide bonds (Irvine and Wieschaus, 1994). Interestingly, the putative tetrabasic proteolytic sites are only found in Xenopus and chicken Rfng, suggesting that zebrafish, newt, rat, mouse, and human Rfng proteins may not require regulated proteolytic activation.…”
