Figure 2. Aedes adducin. (A) Amino‑acid sequence alignment of AeAdd‑A and AeAdd‑B. The red box highlights the 8 amino acids present in AeAdd‑B that are encoded by exon 7. The blue box highlights the C‑terminal MARCKS domain, with a serine (green oval) that is predicted to be phosphorylated. (B). Adducin protein with phosphorylation sites modeled after mammalian β‑adducin.⁷⁰
