Phosphomevalonate kinase (PMK) sequence analysis. (A) Neighbor-joining tree of putative PMK from the L. longipalpis pheromone gland (LLphg-contig_437) Aedes aegypti (Aa), Culex quinquefasciatus (Cq), Dendroctonus pondersae (Dp) and Bombix mori (Bm). The accession numbers of the sequences used are between parentheses and node support is indicated by the bootstrap values. (B) Sequence alignment of PMK sequences. Identical residues are highlighted in black and similar residues highlighted in gray (>70%). Portions of the N-terminal region of these putative proteins with the phosphate binding loop is shown in the blue box and the putative mevalonate 5-phosphate binding site in the green boxes.
