Figure 2.

ClustalW alignment of putative conserved catalytic domains of chitin synthases genes from three mites and four insect species. Conserved domains with identical amino acid residues are shown with white backgrounds. Six black boxes of amino acid residues refer to the highly conserved regions in glycosyltransferases enzymes [19]. The chitin synthase sequences used in the alignment are: AgCHS1: Anopheles gambiae, LmCHS1: Locusta migratoria manilensis; LsCHS1: Laodelphax striatella; MoCHS1: Metaseiulus occidentalis; PcCHS1: Panonychus citri; TcCHS1: Tribolium castaneum; TuCHS1: Tetranychus urticae.
