Figure 6. Comparison of overall fold and critical amino acids in three insect JHAMTs.

Figure 6

(A) Overall fold comparison generated by homology modeling of A. aegypti JHAMT (in blue) structurally aligned with models of B. mori JHAMT (in yellow) and T. castaneum JHAMT (in red). (B) Comparison of critical residues present in the JHAMTs of the three insect species: A. aegypti JHAMT residues in blue, B. mori JHAMT residues in yellow and T. castaneum JHAMT residues in red. Residues superimposed on top of the overall fold of AeJHAMT (in green). (C) A close-up showing the comparison of the important amino acids interacting with SAM and JHA(10R) in the three JHAMT species (colors as in B).
