Alignment of the amino acid sequence of LLAE0068C, from L. laeta venom glands, with known sequences of venom allergen III. Residues are numbered according to the aligned of venom allergen III sequences and dots represent gaps introduced to improve alignment. The underlined indicates the putative signal peptide. The conserved cystein residues are indicated by asterisks. Black and gray indicate amino acids that are identical or conserved, respectively. The conserved motif HYTQ (residues 192–195) is indicated by crosses. The abbreviation and GenBank accession number for the venom allergen III sequences aligned are: Vallerg1, Solenopsis invicta (P35778), Vallerg2, Vespula vulgaris (Q05110), Vallerg3 Dolichovespula maculata (P10736.1) and Vallerg4 Aedes aegypti (EAT48176).
