Figure 2. Tick Arp3 subunit multiple sequence alignment and identification of conserved ATP binding sites.

Sequence alignment of Arp3 subunits from D. variabilis, D. melanogaster, M. musculus, H. sapiens, and S. cerevisiae was obtained from multiple sequence comparison by log-expectation (MUSCLE) software. Identical and similar amino acids are highlighted in black and grey, respectively. Conserved ATP binding sites predicted by NsitePred web server are underlined.
