Induction of Manduca sexta Larvae Caspases Expression in Midgut Cells by Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab Toxin
Figure 1
Multiple sequence alignment of Lepidoptera and Dipterans caspases. The deduced catalytic domain of M. sexta Cas-1 and Cas-3 is compared with the catalytic domain of caspases from other Lepidoptera and Dipterans family members. The selected sequence fragments include R73 to G173 region based on B. mori Cas-3 sequence (Q2HZ04). Amino acid identities are in gray boxes. *: shows the catalytic dyad.
