Figure 1. Cyp301a1 is a conserved insect P450.

Figure 1

(A) Phylogenetic analysis of Cyp301A1 and Cyp301B1 in the insect species. Values shown represent 1000 bootstrapping values. D. melanogaster (D.mel) Cyp49A1 was used as an outgroup. D.ere  =  D. erecta, D.sec  =  D. sechellia, D.sim  =  D. simulans, D.yak  =  D. yakuba, D.ana  =  D. ananassae, D.per  =  D. persimilis, D.pse  =  D. pseudoobscura, D.gri  =  D. grimshawi, D.vir  =  D. virilis, D.moj = D. mojavensis, D.wil  =  D. willistoni, A.gam  =  A. gambiae, N.vit  =  Nasonia vitripennis, A.mel  =  Apis mellifera T.cas  =  Tribolium castaneum, B.mor  =  Bombyx mori, P.hum  =  Pediculus humanis. (B) Alignment of the heme-binding domain of Cyp301A1 and Cyp301B1 from representative insect species. Conserved residues in the heme-binding domain consensus sequence (PxxxGxxxCxG) are highlighted in blue. The conserved Phenylalanine (F) in the second position (highlighted in green) in Cyp301B1 orthologs is changed to a Tyr (Y) (highlighted in red) in all Cyp301A1 orthologs.
