Figure 4From: Characterization of proteinases from the midgut of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus involved in the generation of antimicrobial peptidesAmino acid sequence alignment of aspartic proteinases. BmAP, Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus aspartic proteinase [GenBank:FJ655904]; HlAP, Haemaphysalis longicornis aspartic proteinase [GenBank:BAE53722]; IrAP, Ixodes ricinus aspartic proteinase [GenBank:EF428204]; THAP, tick heme-binding aspartic proteinase [GenBank:AF286865]; BYC, Boophilus Yolk pro-Cathepsin [GenBank:AY966003]. The catalytic residues are indicated with asterisks.Back to article page
