Expression of Genes Encoding the Enzymes for Glycogen and Trehalose Metabolism in L3 and L4 Larvae of Anisakis simplex

Figure 1

Multiple alignment of predicted partial deduced amino acid sequences of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (a) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (b) from nematodes: third-stage (L3) larvae of Anisakis simplex, Caenorhabditis elegans, Brugia malayi, and Ascaris suum. The first line shows the consensus sequence of numbers amino acid position. Below (mean hydrophobicity) is a histogram of the hydrophobicity of individual amino acids. The line sequence logo is a consensus sequence where the size of the symbol of the amino acid determines its stability in its use position (this value also describes a line identity), and each amino acid is indicated by another color. Tinting the background of individual items in sequence on alignment determines similarity in position on all sequences.
