Figure 4From: The expression of genes coding for distinct types of glycine-rich proteins varies according to the biology of three metastriate ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Amblyomma cajennenseDendogram of glycine-rich proteins that present similarities with spider silk proteins. Transcripts of proteins described in this work (●: R. microplus; ■: R. sanquineus; ▲: A. cajennense) and transcripts of proteins obtained in the catalogue of annotated salivary proteins available in Francischetti et al. (2009) were used to construct phylogenies (Amb var: A. variegatum; Amby am: A. americanum; Der and: D. andersoni; Rh ap: R. appendiculatus; Rh micro: R. microplus; the numbers refer to contig in Sup-Table1 [18]).Back to article page
