Figure 1. Multiple Sequence Alignment of Amblyomma maculatum CAT.
The Clustal-X2 sequence alignment, imported into Jalview2.8, is highlighted blue to indicate the species conservation based on the percentage identity of the following CAT amino acid sequences obtained from GenBank: Amblyomma maculatum CAT (JO843741.1) was aligned with Ixodes scapularis (XM_002400585.1), Caenorhabditis elegans (X82175.1) Drosophila melanogaster (NM_080483.3), Anopheles gambiae (DQ986315.1) and Homo sapiens (NM_001752.3). All seven conserved residues comprising the CAT heme binding domain are indicated by red boxes.
