Figure 8. Representative sequences of the neck region and portions of the CRDs following the last Gly-X-Y repeat taken from various subgroups of collectins. RA, rat; HU, human. The a and d positions of the heptadrepeats are indicated. Sites of introns and the sites of subtilisin digestion that releases the carboxy-terminal CRDs of MBPs are underlined. Residues inthe neck–CRD interface (see Table 2) are denoted with asterisks. Sequences and intron positions are derived from [19, 44, 61, 62, 63, 64 and 65]. Figure 8.
