Phylogenetic analysis of the D7-related family of sand fly salivary proteins.

<p>Phylogenetic analysis of D7-related proteins from <i>Phlebotomus arabicus</i> (Pab), <i>P. argentipes</i> (Pag), <i>P. ariasi</i> (Par), <i>P. duboscqi</i> (Pdu), <i>P. papatasi</i> (Pp), <i>P. perniciosus</i> (Ppe), <i>P. sergenti</i> (Ps), <i>P. tobbi</i> (Pt), <i>Lutzomyia longipalpis</i> (LJL), and related sequences from <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> (D7r4) and <i>Simulium vittatum</i>. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted on amino acid sequences without signal peptide using Tree Puzzle (version 5.2) by maximum likelihood (WAG model), quartet puzzling, and automatically estimated internal branch node support (10,000 replications). Sequence names, accession numbers, and branch node values are indicated. Underlined sequences possess predicted N-glycosylation sites.
