Fig 4. Results of amino acid alignment between C3 component of the complement and CHIKV E1 glycoprotein obtained from BioXGEM blast.

Fig 4

Panel A shows the 3D alignment of two proteins, while panel B represents the actual areas where the structural similarity occurs. In panel A complement component C3 is depicted in red colour and CHIKV E1 glycoprotein in blue. The boxed area depicts the shared structural domains between the two proteins. In panel B the highlighted areas in the alignment indicate the areas of structural homology between C3 component of complement and CHIKV E1 glycoprotein. Further, the areas in the box indicate the sequence which is also present in the antigenic peptides (Peptide A and Peptide B)
