Fig. 10. Alignment and comparison of deduced amino acid sequences of crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP)-encoding mRNA from Drosophila melanogaster (DmCCAP) and Manduca sexta (MsCCAP). The CCAP-coding region: blue; C-terminal glycine, red; putative post-translational cleavage sites, green. Sequence alignment was obtained using blosum62 with gap penalty 10 and extension penalty 0.1. Periods (.) are gaps generated for the alignment. Identical and similar amino acids are in black and gray shaded boxes, respectively
