Analysis of silk protein sequences. Representative full-length spidroin sequences from the orb weaver spider Araneus ventricosus (MaSp1, MaSp2, MaSp3, MiSp, and FlSp) and silkmoth heavy-chain fibroins (Fib-H) from Bombyx mori and Antheraea pernyi. A Overall architecture of the silk proteins, with the relevant domains indicated. B Amino acid composition of the core repetitive sequences. C Violin plot illustrating the distribution of Tyr residues (the putative associative units during LLPS), represented as the distance (in number of residues) between successive Tyr units along the repetitive sequences
