Alignment of full-length <i>O. furncalis</i> cecropins.

<p><b>(A)</b> Completely conserved amino acids are indicated by ‘*’, conservative substitutions by ‘:’, and semiconserved substitutions by ‘.’ below the sequences. The predicted secretion signal peptide is underlined. <b>(B) Phylogenetic analysis of cecropins.</b> The amino acid sequences from 8 <i>Ostrinia</i> (Of, red), 4 <i>Drosophila</i> (Dm, pink), 3 <i>Anopheles</i> (Ag, green), 8 <i>Bombyx</i> (Bm, purple), and 2 <i>Manduca</i> (Ms, blue) cecropins were used to build the neighbor-joining tree. Numbers at the nodes are bootstrap values as percentage. Only bootstrap values greater than 70 are shown. The circled bootstrap value indicates that <i>Ostrinia</i> cecropins belong to lepidopteran cecropins.
