Astacin-like metalloprotease sequence comparison and analysis. (A) Phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences from Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lulo), Phlebotomus papatasi (Pp), Mus musculus (Mm), Homo sapiens (Hs), Glossina morsitans morsitans (Gm), Drosophila melanogaster (Dm), Aedes aegypti (Aea), Caenorhabditis elegans (Ce), Anopheles gambiae (Ag), Astacus astacus (Asa) and Culicoides sonorensis (Cs). Node support is indicated by the bootstrap values. (B) Multiple sequence alignment of Dipteran astacin-like molecules. Predicted signal peptide sequence is underlined and the residues likely necessary for catalytic activity are marked with (*).
