Alignment of the predicted NPFs from 16 species as obtained by conceptual translation of their putative transcripts. The sequences include the processing sites on C-terminal site of the mature peptide. The species are arranged according to their position on the phylogenetic tree as established by Zhang et al. (2018). Note the differences between the predicted NPF from Cucujiformia where the peptide has acquired a cysteine bridge with those from the other species. An NPF gene was not found in the Oryctes genome, even though this species does have an NPF receptor gene.
