Fig. 4From: Isolation of biologically active peptides from the venom of Japanese carpenter bee, Xylocopa appendiculata PLA2 of X. appendiculata and other bees. This alignment file was used to construct the phylogenetic tree shown in Figure 9. Hyphen: alignment gap; yellow: the key amino acid residues for PLA2 catalytic activity; green: cysteine. GenBank accession numbers of PLA2 are as follows; Apis cerana (XP_016913788), Apis mellifera (NP_001011614), B. impatiens (XP_012248547), Bombus hypocrita (AGW23551), Megachile rotundata (XP_012142828), Melipona quadrifasciata (KOX69497), Habropoda laboriosa (KOC66459), Dufourea novaeangliae (KZC10443), and Polistes canadensis (XP_014611896)Back to article page
