Sequence alignment of truncated crustacean hyperglycemic hormone precursor-related peptides (CPRPs) using the online software program MAFFT version 6 (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/; [30,31]). Three of the ten truncations (CPRP-I, CPRP-II and CPRP-III) possess sequences that suggest they are from CPRPs distinct from the remaining seven peptides (which appear to be derived from a common CPRP; CPRP-IV). In this figure, amino acids that are common to all truncations in their regions of overlap are highlighted in black, while residues that are shared by all but one peptide are highlighted in gray; variable residues (as well as a single apparent deletion) are unhighlighted in this figure. The numbers in parentheses to the right of the CPRP-IVs show the number of amino acid residues contained in the truncation.
