Fig. 1

Multiple sequence alignments and topology prediction of RmAQP2. Panel a shows the amino acid alignment of RmAQP2 [GenBank ID: KP406519], R. microplus AQP1 [GenBank ID: KJ626366.1], Dermacentor variabilis AQP9 [GenBank ID: ABI53034.1], Rhipicephalus sanguineus AQP1 [GenBank ID: CAR66115.1], Ixodes ricinus AQP1 [GenBank ID: CAX48964.1], Ixodes scapularis AQP1 [GenBank ID: XP_002399532.1] and Ixodes scapularis AQP2 [GenBank ID: XP_002400655.1]. Black boxes in Panel A indicate identical amino acid residues when comparing RmAQP2 and the other sequences. Panel b shows the topology prediction of RmAQP2 indicating the presence of 6 transmembrane-spanning regions, 3 extracellular loops, 2 intracellular loops and 2 NPA AQP signature domains
