Figure 1

(A) Complete nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the S. c. ricini ferritin heavy chain subunit (ScFerHCH) gene. Numbers on the left side represent nucleotide and amino acid positions. The putative IRE in the 5′-UTR is shown in black bold, and the polyadenylation signal in the 3′-UTR is double underlined. The initiation codon (ATG) and termination codon (TAA) are indicated in black italics. The signal peptide is represented in the black box. The ferritin domain is highlighted in a single line, and the eight metal ligands are shaded; (B) Structural domain of ScFerHCH predicted using the SMART program. The red box indicates the signal peptide and the black box represents the ferritin domain; (C) Predicted IRE stem-loop structures of the ferritin heavy chain subunit from S. c. ricini (Accession no. 2045712 ) and B. mori (Accession no. AK386476); (D) Alignment of IREs of ScFerHCH with other insect ferritin. The conserved nucleotides for IREs were marked in red. Identical amino acids are highlighted in green, similar amino acids are highlighted in blue.
