Clustal W 2.1 multiple sequence alignment of AChE protein sequences for Phlebotomus papatasi [GenBank: JQ922267], Lutzomyia longipalpis [GenBank: ABI74669], Culex pipiens AChE [GenBank: Q86GC8], and Aedes aegypti [GenBank: XP_001656977]. The consensus line below the aligned sequences indicates positions of conserved amino acid identity (*) or similarity (: or .). Positions of the 3 disulfide bond linkages are indicated by numbers above participating cysteine pairs. The members of the catalytic triad (S, E, H) which make up the catalytic site are indicated by (‡) above the participating amino acid.
