Figure 2
Alignment of Pol d 3 with Ves v 3 and Api m 5. Mature amino acid sequences of Pol d 3 (Polistes dominula), Ves v 3 (Vespula vulgaris) and Api m 5 (Apis mellifera) are shown. Black shaded amino acids are identical between all three proteins, gray shaded amino acids are shared by two proteins and amino acids not shaded are unique to the individual protein. Peptides identified by tandem mass spectrometry are underlined in black and potential N-glycosylation sites in gray. The residues involved in the conserved active center of the enzymes are represented boxed. Overall amino acid identity between the different proteins is stated in percent.
