Figure 1: Protein alignments of DVSSJ1 and Drosophila SSK.
From: Discovery of midgut genes for the RNA interference control of corn rootworm
The transmembrane domains with hydrophobic residues are indicated by underline predicted by the SOSUI algorithm50. The bold letters indicate the amino acid sequence (TWNLNEEKNPDAEIC) used for monoclonal antibody production. This alignment was derived using CLUSTAL W with default parameters48. * (asterisk) represents identical amino acid residues shared between DVSSJ1 and fly-SSK, : (colon) conservation between two amino acid residues of strongly similar properties and. (period) indicates conservation between two amino acid residues of weakly similar properties.
