Multiple amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis of Hc-CAP-15. a Sequence alignment of Hc-CAP-15 of Haemonchus contortus with 10 homologs of other nematode species. The CAP domain (Pfam database: pFam00188) is delineated by a black box. The CAP1 motif [(GDER) (HR) (FYWH) (TVS) (QA) (LIVM) (LIVMA) Wxx (STN)] is highlighted in purple, the CAP2 motif [(LIVMFYH) (LIVMFY) xC (NQRHS) Yx (PARH) x (GL) N (LIVMFYWDN)] is highlighted in pink, the CAP3 motif [(H) (N) xx (R)] is highlighted in green and the CAP4 motif [(G) (EQ) (N) (ILV)] is highlighted in yellow. The red triangles represent conserved cysteine residues, and the red box marks the amino acid residues constituting the CAP tetrad. b The rooted neighbor-joining tree showing the phylogenetic relationships of Hc-CAP-15 of H. contortus with 12 homologs of other species. The nodal support values (%) are shown above the branches
