Figure 1.
Figure 1: a, Human prothrombin and its cofactor SC. Cleavage sites in the latter are indicated by arrowheads. b, SC homologues: CAD46494 (refs 8, 9); FbpA, fibrinogen-binding protein A (ref 22); NP_687847; SfbX, Streptococcus pyogenes fibronectin (FN)-binding protein (ref 23); and vWbp (ref 7). The sequence that directs cell-wall sorting of SfbX is indicated by a diamond; the RGD triplet is also indicated. Gla, gamma-carboxyglutamic acid domain; K, kringle domain; L, light chain; C, cytoplasmic tail; D1/D2, alpha-helical domains; Fn, FN-binding repeats (refs 24,25); M, membrane-spanning peptide; P/S, proline/serine-rich region; R, SC C-terminal repeats; RL4, domain homologous to the large ribosomal subunit L4; S, signal sequence.
