Aedes aegypti SBP2 is coded by two genes. (A) Multiple sequence alignment of insect SBP2 from the indicated species. Residues were colored using JalView based on BLOSUM62 score. The black line above the alignment denotes EST coverage of residues in the predicted A. aegypti SID peptide that are in an EST corresponding to the A. aegypti RBD. (B) Maximum likelihood tree of the insect SBP2 sequences used in panel A. In order to build the tree, the A. aegypti SID and RBD sequences were combined into one sequence file. (C) The genomic contexts of SBP2 from A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus and D. melanogaster were ascertained from Entrez Gene at NCBI. Arrows indicate gene orientation and gene names are as indicated.
