Sequence and structure analysis of Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides RhCaspases 7, 8 and 9. a Domain structure of RhCaspases 7, 8 and 9. b Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of RhCaspases 7, 8 and 9. Homo sapiens caspase 7: P55210; Mus musculus caspase 7: P97864; Homo sapiens caspase 8: Q14790; Mus musculus caspase 8: O89110; Homo sapiens caspase 9: P55211; Mus musculus caspase 9: Q8C3Q9. c Phylogenetic tree of R. haemaphysaloides caspases with the caspases of other arthropod species. Bootstrap values after 500 simulations are shown at the branches and RhCaspases 7, 8 and 9 are marked with red rectangles
