Figure 4
Alignment of MaAFP and HhAFP. Gly residues within the polyproline type II helices that form the core of the proteins are shaded orange. Residues exposed on the ice-binding surface (helices 2, 4, 6) and backside (helices 1, 3, 5) are highlighted grey (hydrophobic), red (acidic), blue (basic) or green (polar). Cys are highlighted yellow; residues with sidechains that are exposed on the sides of the protein are in italics and underlined, and the non-Gly residues within the core are highlighted pink. Identity and similarity are denoted by asterisks and dots, respectively. Signal polypeptides sequences are in lower case at the top.
