From: An insight into the sialome of the oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis (Rots)
Alignment of selected Xenopsylla cheopis peptides of the FS family with defensin peptides. The conserved cysteine framework C...C-X-X-X-C...G-X-C ...C-X-C is indicated. Sequences from the present work start with XC or cluster; other sequences are from GenBank and consist of 5 letters and their gi¦ accession number. The five letters represent the genus name (first 3 letters) followed by 2 letters from the species name; Accordingly, CTEFE: Ctenocephalides felix, MUSDO: Musca domestica, PROTE: Protophormia terraenovae, STOCA: Stomoxys calcitrans, DROME: Drosophila melanogaster, ANOGA: Anopheles gambiae, ORNMO:Ornithodorus moubata, ARGMO: Argas monolakensis, HELVI:Heliothis virescens, ARATH: Arabidopsis thaliana. The aminoterminal part of the peptides is not shown.
