(a) ClustalW alignment of mature processed insect defensins from: 1, Phormia teranova P10891 (PDB:1ica); 2, TAST-identified Lucilia sericata ZY200177-lucifensin; 3, Sarcophaga peregrina P31530; 4, S. peregrina P18313 (PDB:1L4V); and 5, Musca domestica A21900. Boxes in the sequences indicate amino acid differences compared with lucifensin and the coloured bars indicate the level of overall homology. (b) Schematic representation of the full-length translation of the ZY200177 ORF containing the putative signal peptide (predicted by SignalP 3.0 Server), the deduced propeptide with a Kex2 cleavage site and the mature lucifensin defensin with disulphide bridges inferred by homology.
