Schematic comparison of genomic DNA and the translated protein structures of Marvi-DH-PBAN.

<p>(represented by the top and bottom diagrams, respectively) Exons and peptides are shown as shaded boxes, and horizontal solid lines represent intronic regions with corresponding intron phase in parentheses. The actual size of each element was supplemented accordingly. Intron-exon boundary sequences are shown in the top figure with exon sequences in uppercase and intron sequences in lowercase. Letters between two peptides in the bottom Marvi-DH-PBAN polyprotein diagram indicate probable endoproteolytic cleavage sites. SP: signal peptide; DH: diapause hormone; α: α-SGNP; β: β-SGNP; PBAN: pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide; γ: γ-SGNP.
