Amino acid sequence alignment of Driedel and other homolous proteins.

<p>The Diedel protein of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> was aligned to homologous gene products from <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> (CG34329) and <i>Pseudalatia unipuncta</i> granulovirus (PuGV). The numbering is that of Diedel in this study. Secondary structure elements, <i>i.e.</i> strands and helices, are indicated below the sequences as arrows and rectangles, respectively. Conserved residues are boxed, and strictly conserved residues are shown in white with a red background. Note that the level of sequence identity is much more higher in the SD2 sub-domain than in the SD1 sub-domain. The figure was generated with ESPript <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0033416#pone.0033416-Gouet1" target="_blank">[36]</a>.
