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
