From: An insight into the sialome of the oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis (Rots)
The FS peptide family expressed in the salivary glands of Xenopsylla cheopis. A) Clustal aligment of the Oriental rat flea sequences with the cat flea sequence with NCBI accession number 1575479. Conserved cysteines are shown in reverse black color, and the number above their locations B) Phylogram of the FS family displaying the divergence of the family, and the association of the cat flea sequence with the rat flea sequence annotated as cluster-169. The numbers represent the percent concordance of 10,000 bootstrap replicates. The bar at the bottom indicates 20% amino acid distance.
