Figure 7. Amino acid sequence alignment of proteins containing a CH domain.

Figure 7

The figure represents the sequence alignment for two randomly chosen representatives of five different insect orders, and four additional proteins aligned from non-insect invertebrates: Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti from Diptera; Tribolium castaneum and Dendroctonus ponderosae from Coleptera; Bombyx mori and Helicoverpa armigera from Lepidoptera; Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris from Hymenoptera; Riptorus pedestris and Acyrthosiphon pisum from Hemiptera; Daphnia pulex, Amblyomma variegatum, Ixodes scalpularis and Metaseiulus occidentalis from non-insect invertebrates. Stars indicate positions which have a single, fully-conserved residue; colons indicate that one of the following strong groups is fully conserved; dots indicate that one of the following weaker groups is fully conserved. C residues are highlighted in red. The numbering of the residues corresponding to the D. melanogaster Chd64 sequence is given at the bottom of the alignment. Sequences were taken from UniProtKB (http://www.uniprot.org/). All alignments were done using ClustalIX.
