Phylogenetic analysis of caspases in Drosophila, An. gambiae, and Ae. aegypti. Full length amino acid sequences were used to build phylogenetic trees using MEGA 3.1. Panel A includes effector caspases, while panel B includes initiator caspases and caspases related to Damm, which is predicted to be an effector caspase based on its short prodomain, but which groups with initiator caspases. Clades were determined by branching patterns and are represented as vertical lines on the right. Bootstrap values are shown.
