Domain organization and the alignment of the amino acid sequences of the cecropin multigene family in Musca domestica. a Domain organization of the cecropin multigene family, signal and mature peptides. b The amino acid sequences of Cec01 (GenBank: DQ384635.1), Cec02 (GenBank: KM249323.1), Cec1 (GenBank: EF175878.1), Cec2, Cec3, Cec4 (GenBank: MG209110), Cec5, Cec6, Cec7, Cec8, Cec9 and ABP-Hyalophora cecropia (HC) cecropin A (GenBank: M63845) were used. Multiple alignments were performed using the ClustalW program. The symbol (*) indicates that the aligned residues are identical. Substitutions suggested to be conservative or semi-conservative by Clustal W are marked as (:) and (.), respectively
