Alignment of the amino acid sequences for the polyhedrin gene of Autographa californica baculovirus (AcMNPV), Bombyx mori CPV type 1 (BmCPV1), and Orgyia pseudosugata CPV type 5 (OpCPV5) with predicted secondary structure assignments drawn underneath. Fully conserved residues are shown on a red background, and similar residues are highlighted red in a blue box (global similarity score as defined by Risler et al. [1988] > 0.7). The sequences were aligned with ClustalW and visualized using ESPript (Gouet et al. 1999), and the secondary structures were predicted by PROFsec (Rost and Sander 1993).
