Figure 1. Nucleotide and inferred amino acid sequences of the rice weevil endopolygalacturonase cDNA clone. The underlined region of the amino acid sequence corresponds to the N-terminal sequence from the purified rice weevil polygalacturonase as determined by Edman degradation. The underlined nucleotides near the 3' end correspond to a eukaryotic polyadenylation signal. The arrow after Ala-17 represents a predicted signal peptide cleavage site. The first seventeen nucleotides were determined by 5' RACE. The accession number for this sequence is: AF207068.
