FIGURE 1.

Genomic organization and phylogenetics of the Tenebrio molitor IκB kinase ε (IKKε) (TmIKKε) gene. (A) Schematic representation of the TmIKKε gene. Two exons (E1 and E2) are separated by a single intron (I1). E1 starts with the translation start codon “ATG,” and E2 ends with the translation stop codon “TGA”. (B) Clustal X2-based multiple sequence alignment of IKKε/TBK1 proteins. “*”-Highly conserved residues; “:”-Conserved residues; “.”-Less conserved residues. The residues are colored automatically and represents physico-chemical properties of amino acid residues. (C) Maximum likelihood analysis based on the alignment of IKKε/TBK1 amino acid sequences. Bootstrap values (1,000 replicates) are indicated at the nodes.
