From: Analysis of salivary transcripts and antigens of the sand fly Phlebotomus arabicus
Analysis of Ag 5 and Ag 5-related proteins. (A) Multiple sequence alignment of Ag 5-related sand fly salivary proteins from Phlebotomus arabicus (Pab), P. ariasi (Par), P. perniciosus (Ppe), P. argentipes (Pag), P. papatasi (Pp), P. duboscqi (Pdu), and Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lulo). The sequences of predicted signal peptides are underlined. Background shading represents identical and similar amino acids; black and grey, respectively. Conserved cysteine residues are indicated by (*). (B) Phylogenetic analysis of Ag 5 and Ag 5-related protein amino acids from sand flies, Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles gambiae, An. darlingi, An. stephensi, Culicoides sonorensis, Stomoxys calcitrans, Glossina morsitans morsitans, Drosophila melanogaster, and D. willistoni, Vespula vidua, V. vulgaris, Dolichovespula maculata, and Solenopsis invicta, and a CRISP-family member from Homo sapiens. Accession numbers are in parentheses and node values indicate branch support.
