Figure 8. Sequence alignment of barnacle bursicon peptides.

Figure 8

(A) Alignment of bursicon α subunit. Sequences are from: euphausiacean Euphausia superba [22]; decapods Litopenaeus vannamei [22], Homarus gammarus ADI86242.1 and Carcinus maenas EU139428; branchiopod Daphnia pulex [38]; insects Tribolium castaneum DQ138190, Drosophila melanogaster NM_142726, Apis mellifera NM_001098234, Musca domestica EF424614 and Bombyx mori NM_001098375; chelicerate Ixodes scapularis XM_002407468. (B) Alignment of bursicon β subunit. Sequences are from: decapods Homarus americanus [22], Homarus gammarus ADI86243.1, Litopenaeus vannamei [22] and Carcinus maenas EU139429; branchiopod Daphnia pulex [38]; insects Tribolium castaneum DQ156997, Drosophila melanogaster NM_135868, Apis mellifera NM_001040262, Musca domestica EF424613 and Bombyx mori NM_001043824; chelicerate Ixodes scapularis XM_002407469. Asterisk “*” mark the conserved cysteine that will form dimers.
