“…This structure is similar to those of NOS from vertebrates [11,14,15] and invertebrates [17,21,35] The motif prediction demonstrated that Heme, H4, Calmodulin, FMN, FAD (ADP), FAD (Flavin), FAD (Ribose), NADPH (Ribose), NADPH (ADP) and NADPH in the three types NOS showed high identity in LvNOS, suggesting that the function of NOS is conservative and LvNOS may have multi-functions. Five ATTTA motifs were found in the 3 0 UTR of LvNOS.…”
