The cystine-knot motif in EETI-II and the sequences of the proteins investigated in this study. The sequence of EETI-II isolated from seeds of jumping cucumber E. elaterium was C-terminally extended by amino acids SPHHHHHH for affinity chromatography. The mutation M7I was introduced for purification purposes. Sequence deviations compared with the sequence of native EETI-II are highlighted in grey. |
