FIG. 3.

Evolutionary alignment of the sequence of dppVM across 12 Drosophila species: mel, D. melanogaster; sec, D. sechellia; sim, D. simulans; yak, D. yakuba; ere, D. erecta; ana, D. ananassae; pse, D. pseudoobscura; per, D. persimilis; wil, D. willistoni; vir, D. virilis; moj, D. mojavensis; gri, D. grimshawi. Dashes indicate gaps added to align orthologous sequences. Known and predicted protein binding sites are labeled and highlighted in black; the number indicates position, given in base pairs from the 5′ end of the enhancer. Regions 1 through 5 are indicated with arrows. ATGYTGCA repeats are in bold and underlined. Bases identical to the D. melanogaster sequence are shaded gray. Numbers after the sequences represent the length of the sequences, measured from the PstI site to the XbaI site.
