Table 1. Computer analysis of the initial 28 amino acids in MP19

Computer analysis of the MP19 amino acid sequence using several different prediction servers show that the first 26-28 amino acids serve as a signal anchor and peptide. As each amino acid is removed from the COOH-terminal end of the polypeptide, the fragments between 21 and 25 amino acids predict a signal anchor. As the truncations go below 21 amino acids, the peptide completely loses predictive function.
