* Bold font is for amino acid residues that are identical in type and sequence location to Drosophila pAntp penetratin; underlined residues are for extended penetratin analog at its C-terminal; All examined viruses and some Gram-negative bacteria have aspartate (D) highlighted with italic font instead of tryptophan (W) at the 14th sequence location. $ #Arg/#Lys are the numbers of arginines and lysines in the sequence. The third number after the slash symbol is the cell-penetrating probability (CPP), according to www.thegleelab.org/MLCPP/ (accessed on 7 August 2022) server. § Reversed amoebae penetratin (Filasterea clade) with added arginine. & Homeodomain motif upstream from penetratin analog is also predicted as the CPP.
