Figure 5. Bootstrapped phylogram of Rhodnius prolixus and other cysteinyl proteinases.

Bootstrap values above 50% are shown on the branches. The bottom line indicates 10% amino acid sequence divergence between the proteins. R. prolixus sequences are shown by the notation RP followed by a unique number and have a red circle preceding their names. The remaining sequences, obtained from GenBank, are annotated with the first three letters of the genus name, followed by the first three letters of the species name, followed by their GenBank GI number. One thousand replicates were done for the bootstrap test using the neighbor joining test.
