Linker region sequences.

<p>Sequence alignment of human desmoplakin I (DPI), human plectin (PL), human envoplakin (EP), and human periplakin (PP) in the region corresponding to the linker between PRDs B and C of desmoplakin. Secondary structures predicted with JPred4 are shown as arrows (β-strands) and thickened rectangles (α-helices). Ser/Thr residues in red and orange are predicted potential phosphorylation sites with scores higher than 0.9 and 0.6, respectively, by the NetPhos 2.0 server. The starting and ending residue numbers are indicated. A consensus sequence is shown at the bottom of each alignment. A consensus residue or class of residues, represented as a symbol, is indicated when more than 3/4 of the residues fall into this category.
