Figure 1

(A): Alignment of mature peptides of honeybee defensins. AcDe1 to AcDe8 from the Asiatic honeybee; AmDe1, AmDe2 and AmRo1 from the Western honeybee, AcDe8, AmDe1, AmDe2 and AmRo1 downloaded from the NCBI website. (B): Alignment of mature peptides of honeybee abaecins. AcAb1 and AcAb2 from the Asiatic honeybee; AmAb1 and AmAb2 from the Western honeybee and downloaded from the NCBI website. (C): Alignment of mature peptides of honeybee apidaecins. AcAp1 to AcAp4 from the Asiatic honeybee; AmAp1∼AmAp5 from the Western honeybee and downloaded from the NCBI website. (D): Alignment of mature peptides of honeybee hymenoptaecins. AcHy1∼AcHy13 from the Asiatic honeybee; AmHy1 from the Western honeybee and downloaded from the NCBI website. Multiple sequence alignment performed using Clustal_X. Identical amino acids are in black dots. Different amino acids are shown in the alignment. Small dashes indicate gaps inserted for optimal alignment. Amino acid residues are numbered on the right.
