Figure 1. Twelve chemosensory proteins (CSPs) identified from the antennal transcriptome of Camponotus japonicas.

Figure 1

(A) Multiple alignments of C. japonicus CSP (CjapCSP) sequences. Conserved amino-acid residues are highlighted based on the degree of conservation. Blue letters indicate signal peptide sequences predicted by SignalP program, and red letters indicate helical structure predicted by structural modelling using MbraCSPA6 as reference. (B) Maximal likelihood tree of protein sequences from 9 ant species, Drosophila melanogaster, Polistes canadensis, and Apis mellifera. Bootstrap values greater than 40 are indicated. Red lines indicate expanded ant-specific CSP genes.
