Figure 5. Multiple sequence alignments for ubiquitin conjugating enzyme from D. variabilis male transcriptome versus other species.

Figure 5

Multiple sequence alignment (ClustalW) of the deduced amino acid sequence of a putative D. variabilis ubiquitin-conjugation enzyme (UBC) E2 catalytic domain (Contig12257) from the 454 transcriptome to the male reproductive system and published UBCs from the Arthropoda are compared. Apis mellifera (Am; XP_625157), Ixodes scapularis (Is; EEC09803), Pediculus humanus corporis (Phc; XP_002430814), Tribolium castaneum (Tc; XP_973689). Light grey shading indicates the 21 residues involved in the ubiquitin thioester intermediate interaction on the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes catalytic domain (UBCc). The Cys in the active site of the UBCc conserved domain is boxed. Dark grey shading denotes the five E3 interaction residues on the UBCc. Asterisks denote identical residues, dots indicate conservative substitutions.
