Transcriptome Analysis in Venom Gland of the Predatory Giant Ant Dinoponera quadriceps: Insights into the Polypeptide Toxin Arsenal of Hymenopterans
Figure 7
Multiple alignments of the deduced amino acid sequences of the venom allergen antigen 5 (Sol i 3) of D. quadriceps with known sequences from different Hymenoptera species.
The conserved regions of the Sol i 3/allergen antigen 5 (Ag 5) polypeptide sequences of D. quadriceps and other hymenopterans are presented in black boxes. Conserved amino acid residue mutations are highlight in light gray boxes. Dots represent gaps. The unique amino acid sequences of the D. quadriceps allergen homologous to Sol i 3 protein are displayed in open boxes.
