Fig. 6From: Expression of active trypsin-like serine peptidases in the midgut of sugar-feeding female Anopheles aquasalis Alignment of An. aquasalis trypsin sequences identified by MS/MS with well annotated trypsin sequences (trypsin-3 of Ae. aegypti and trypsin-6 of An. gambiae). Regions of importance are represented as follows: (Gray) signal peptide; (Italic and bold) N-terminal residues of the active enzyme; (O) conserved cysteine of disulfide bonds; (*) conserved catalytic triad; (§) accessory catalytic residues; (#) highly conserved Asp 194Back to article page
