Amino acid sequence alignment of hyaluronidases from insect species. The deduced hyaluronidase from T. bicarinatum Tb Tb32443 was aligned with hyaluronidases from A. mellifera [GenBank: NP_001011619], Acromyrmex echinatior [GenBank: EGI62851], Camponotus floridanus [GenBank: EFN68537], Harpegnathos saltator [GenBank: EFN78468], Bombus terrestris [GenBank: XP_003400647] and Bombus impatiens [GenBank: XP_003484995]. The tri amino acid residues –DFE– is highlighted by a red rectangle and the active site residues by asterisks. Strictly conserved cysteines are indicated with black shading and the predicted signal peptide cleavage site is indicated by a solid green triangle.
