Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) sequence analysis. (A) Subset of the sequence alignment of FPPS including residues extending from positions one hundred to four hundred forty two. Sequence alignment of the largest predicted FPPS sequences of our library (contig 94 and 93) and Aedes aegypti (Aa), Drosophila melanogaster (Dm), Glossina morsitans morsitans (Gm), Dendroctonous ponderosae (Dp), and Dendroctonus jeffreyi (Dj) sequences. Identical residues are highlighted in black and similar residues highlighted in gray. The aspartate-rich motifs are shown in a blue square. (B) Neighbor-joining tree of FPPS sequences of L. longipalpis pheromone gland (contigs 93 and94), Aedes aegypti (Aa), Drosophila melanogaster (Dm), Glossina morsitans morsitans (Gm), Dendroctonus jeffreyi (Dj), Dendroctonus ponderosae (Dp). The accession numbers of the sequences used are between parentheses and the node support indicated by the bootstrap values.
