Figure 2.

Sequence alignment of O. furnacalis lysozymes with fruit fly, fish, chicken, mouse, pig, cattle, human and lepodipteran lysozymes. Gaps are indicated by “-”. Completely conserved amino acids are indicated by “*”, and conservative substitutions by “:” and “.” below the sequences. Eight absolutely conserved cysteines are shaded in light grey, and two catalytic sites are shaded in dark grey. Residues forming secondary structures of lysozymes in B. mori and chicken are presented in boxes. Two loops in the secondary structures are underlined.
