Analyses of the signal/transit peptides of apicomplexan gyrase sequences. Secondary structure prediction and hydrophobicity plot of residues 1–155 of Pf-GyrA (A) and residues 1–120 of Pf-GyrB (B). Both sequences feature hydrophobic α-helices in the N-terminus. Secondary structure prediction and hydrophobicity plot of residues 1–259 of Tg-GyrA (C) and residues 1–261 of Tg-GyrB (D). On the contrary to other proteins, Tg-GyrB does not feature a hydrophobic region in its N-terminus.
