Fig. 2. Alignment of insect corticotropin-releasing factor-related peptides. The sequences producing significant alignments against Drome-DH₄₄ peptide after a protein Blast search are shown below in red. Mac Vector clustal analysis was performed to align the sequences. Residues highlighted in yellow have 50% identity. Swissprot accession numbers for each peptide are as follows: Musca domestica (house fly), DIUH_MUSDO; Periplaneta americana (American cockroach), DIUH_PERAM; Zootermopsis nevadensis (termite), DIUH_ZOONE; Diploptera punctata (Pacific beetle cockroach) class I, DIUH_DIPPU; Locusta migratoria (migratory locust), DIUH_LOCMI; Tenebrio molitor (yellow mealworn), DIU2_TENMO; Acheta domesticus (house cricket), DIUH_ACHDO; Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm) precursor 1, DIU1_MANSE; DromeDH, dh gene product (present study); Culex salinarus, CCRF-DP.
