Analysis of Transcripts Expressed in One-Day-Old Larvae and Fifth Instar Silk Glands of Tasar Silkworm, Antheraea mylitta
Figure 4
(a) Multiple sequence alignment of seroin genes (AmSer2 and AmSer1) of A. mylitta. The start and stop codons have been boxed as shown. Region underlined with “- - - -” indicates the exon absent in AmSer. (b) Protein sequence alignment of A. mylitta seroin1 (AmSer1) with B. mori Seroin1 (Bm_s1) [Genbank: AAL83945] and A. mylitta seroin 2 (AmSer2) with B. mori Seroin2 (Bm_s2) [Genbank: AAL83946]. The shaded area represents signal peptide sequence. The symbol “*” indicates identical residues, “:” indicates conserved substitution, and “.” indicates semi-conserved substitutions.
