Fig. 3From: A Major Allergen of Lymphatic Filarial Nematodes Is a Parasite Homolog of the γ-Glutamyl Transpeptidase Hydropathy plot analysis of the filarial γ -GT homolog Hydrophobicity profile was obtained according to Kyte and Doolittle (32) using a search length of nine amino acids. Values for the hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions along the 590 amino acid sequence are above and below zero, respectively. The N-terminal sequence is located at the left. The broken line corresponds to an average hydropathic index of 1.6. Hydrophobic sequences A, B, C, and D with values above 1.6 correspond to similar regions of known γ-GTPs (26,29,30).Back to article page
