Fig. 10. Comparison of deduced amino acid sequences of ecdysone receptor (EcR) cDNAs
from land crab, fiddler crab and locust. The partial Gl-EcR sequence is
aligned with EcR sequences from fiddler crab, Celuca (Uca)
pugilator (Up-EcR; #AAC33432), and locust, Locusta
migratoria (Lm-EcR; #AAD19828). Gl-EcR had the highest sequence identity
with the other two EcR sequences in the DNA-binding (domain C) and
ligand-binding (domain E) domains. Overall identities were 93% between Gl-EcR
and Up-EcR and 66% between Gl-EcR and Lm-EcR. Amino acid identities or
similarities in all three sequences are highlighted in black. Boundaries
between domains are indicated by capital letters.
