Fig. 2. Sequences of Ct1a, Ct1b, and orthologs.

Fig. 2

(A) Amino acid sequences of the prepropeptide precursors encoding Ct1a and Ct1b. Numbering above the alignment refers to Ct1a. (B) Alignment of the sequences of the mature Ct1a and Ct1b toxins with orthologs from other theraphosid spiders. Residues that differ from those in the corresponding positions in Ct1a are highlighted in red. The disulfide-bond pattern from the NMR-derived structure of ω-TRTX-Ba1b (Corzo et al., 2009) and from chemical analysis of ω-TRTX-Bs1a (Kaiser et al., 1994) are shown above and below the sequence alignment, respectively. Percent identity with Ct1a is shown in blue to the right of the alignment. Taxonomic information (species and subfamily) and geographic distribution are provided at far right.
