Deduced amino acid sequence of the gp60 gene of Cryptosporidium ubiquitum compared with sequences of C. parvum and C. hominis. gp60 sequences from C. ubiquitum, C. parvum (GenBank accession no. AF022929), and C. hominis (GenBank accession no. ACQ82748) were aligned by using ClustalX (www.clustal.org/). Potential N-linked glycosylation sites are indicated in boldface and italic type, and predicted O-linked glycosylation sites are indicated in boldface and underlined type. The first 19 aa coding f

Deduced amino acid sequence of the gp60 gene of Cryptosporidium ubiquitum compared with sequences of Cparvum and Chominisgp60 sequences from Cubiquitum, Cparvum (GenBank accession noAF022929), and Chominis (GenBank accession noACQ82748) were aligned by using ClustalX (www.clustal.org/)Potential N-linked glycosylation sites are indicated in boldface and italic type, and predicted O-linked glycosylation sites are indicated in boldface and underlined typeThe first 19 aa coding for a signal peptide are highlighted in green, and the last 20 aa for a transmembrane domain are highlighted in blueThe signal peptide cleavage site in the N terminal and furin proteolytic cleavage site between gp40 and gp15 of Cparvum and Chominis are highlighted in yellow and red, respectivelyThe furin cleavage site is not present in CubiquitumDashes denote nucleotide deletions.
