Figure 3.

Multiple sequence alignment of CcLys2 with typical c-type lysozymes from 6 other insects. Asterisks mark eight cysteines, pounds mark characteristic catalytic residues glutamate (E) and aspartate (D), and the black triangle marks the characteristic H that replace the conserved Y in the majority of c-type lysozymes. Identical residues are shown in black boxes and strongly conserved residues are shown in gray boxes. Species that lysozymes originate from and GenBank accession numbers of the lysozymes are listed in Table S1.
