Identification of an M. rosenbergii Atg6. a A schematic annotation of M. rosenbergii Atg6 (MroAtg6) and the alignment of crustacean Atg6 proteins with Atg6/BECN1 of other species from different phyla. Black shading indicates conserved amino acids while grey shading indicates similar amino acids. Green bar indicates the region of Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain of HsaBECN1. Mro, Macrobrachium rosenbergii; Ple, Pontastacus leptodactylus; Cfi, Calanus finmarchicus; Dpu, Daphnia pulex; Dme, Drosophila melanogaster; Cgi, Crassostrea gigas; Spu, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus; Cel, Caenorhabditis elegans; Dre, Danio rerio; Xtr, Xenopus tropicalis; Mmu, Mus musculus; Hsa, Homo sapiens. b Predicted tertiary structures of HsaBECN1 (a) and MroAtg6 (b) and superimposition of HsaBECN1 and MroAtg6 (c). The BH3 domain is labeled on HsaBECN1, corresponding to amino acid positions 105–129
