Fig. 2.

Multiple sequence alignment of PtAP-1 with other AP-1 variants. PtAP-1 was compared with the sequences of AP-1s from Atta cephalotes (XP_012058179), Trachymyrmex septentrionalis (XP_018357058), Atta colombica (KYM80865), Acromyrmex echinatior (XP_011069320), Trachymyrmex cornetzi (XP_018363574), Wasmannia auropunctata (XP_011694334), Cyphomyrmex costatus (XP_018394503.1), Vollenhovia emeryi (XP_011874216), Solenopsis invicta (XP_011165845), Pogonomyrmex barbatus (XP_011639737), Lasius niger (KMQ96686), Camponotus floridanus (XP_011259614.1), Ooceraea biroi (XP_019886697), Zootermopsis nevadensis (XP_021915872), Nilaparvata lugens (XP_022197425), Litopenaeus vannamei (AIB53746), Penaeus monodon (APL97141), Macrobrachium nipponense (ASM46959), and Hyalella azteca (XP_018022155). The black-shaded regions indicate identical amino acids among the different sequences, whereas the gray-shaded regions represent conserved replacements. The bZIP domain is indicated by asterisks (*), and gaps are indicated by dashes
