unBLASTable sequence?

Hi all,

I was trying to BLAST a protein sequence today at the NCBI blast server
and in the results, part of my query sequence came up as a row of
XXXXXXXXs even though it is directly identical to a sequence in the
databases.

The "unBLASTable" part of the sequence is

arqpppaprsappsppfppppafp


I have also checked it using a different BLAST server with the same
result.

Can anybody explain why the server can't / won't accept this sequence?

Thanks

Paraic Kenny
