FIGURE 6.

Multiple amino acid sequence alignment between Tenebrio PGRP-SC2 and Drosophila PGRP family members. Three residues conserved from T7 lysozymes are shown with boxes. Two residues (His and Cys residues) that were not conserved with Tenebrio PGRP-SA are shown in boxes marked with circles. The GenBank^TM or Swissprot accession numbers for the sequences used are as follows: T. molitor (Tm) PGRP-SA, BAE78510.1; and D. melanogaster (Dm) PGRP-SC2, Q9V4X; PGRP-LB, Q9VGN3; PGRP-SB1, Q9VV97. The determined partial amino acid sequences are indicated by underlining.
