Expression, Purification, and Characterization of Ras Protein (BmRas1) from Bombyx mori

Figure 1

Alignment of amino acid sequences of Ras superfamily members. Bm, Aae, Aga, Am, Dm, Ce, Xl, Hm, Mm, Tc, and Nv mean Bombyx mori, Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae, Apis mellifera, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Xenopus laevis, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Tribolium castaneum, and Nasonia vitripennis, respectively. The residues with solid light gray shade differed from BmRas1. Amino acids which are important for GTP/Mg2+ binding were boxed in real lines. The C-terminal CAAX motif were boxed in broken lines.
