Fig. 5.

Alignment of the remipede neurotoxin. The color code is identical to that in figure 3. Signal peptides are shaded in blue, propeptides in red, and the domain region in green. Disulphide bonds are pictured with black lines and the cysteine residue backbone by yellow squares. Red circles represent sequences of nonvenomous taxa that lack disulphide bonds as predicted using DBCP webserver (Lin and Tseng 2010). Yellow circles show nonvenomous taxa and remipede sequences that are predicted to have one to three less likely (<65% of probability) disulphide bonds, and the dotted black lines indicate these less likely bonds. Venom gland transcripts and complete animal tissue transcripts are indicated by the abbreviations VgT and BVgT in parentheses following the sequence name, respectively.
