Figure 3. Phylogenetic comparison of fucosyltransferases.

Figure 3

Selected insect fucosyltransferases were analysed using the Multiple Sequence Alignment server (http://multalin.toulouse.inra.fr/multalin/ (Corpet, 1988). The resulting phylogenetic data were visualised using the Alignment and tree description (rfd) software on the same webpage. The abbreviations for the respective organisms used are as followed: Aa, Aedes aegypti; Am, Apis mellifera; Ag, Anopheles gambiae; and Dm, Drosophila melanogaster. A phylogenetic tree of predicted insect fucosyltransferase amino acid sequences with corresponding gene bank accession numbers in brackets and italic are shown. The three putative fucosyltransferases from An. gambiae examined in this study are indicated by dashed boxes.
