Figure 1

Conservation of CTL4 and CTLMA2 in Anopheles. (a) Schematic illustrating back-to-back arrangement of An. gambiae CTL4 and CTLMA2 on chromosome 2 L. (b) Unrooted phylogenetic trees for CTL4 (blue), CTLMA2 (red) in ten Anopheles species including An. gambiae (purple) and An. albimanus (cyan). The N-terminal portion of both multi-sequence alignments is shown with conserved cysteine residues highlighted yellow, other conserved residues highlighted in gray. The CXCXC motif is conserved in all sequences except those truncated at the N-terminus.
