Figure 3From: Identification, phylogenetic analysis and expression profile of an anionic insect defensin gene, with antibacterial activity, from bacterial-challenged cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralisNucleotide and corresponding deduced amino acid sequence of S. littoralis defensin gene ( Spli Def). In promoter sequence, TATA, CATT, IL-6-RE and GATA transcription factors are underlined. Cleavage sites of signal and propeptides are indicated by arrows. Mature peptide is double underlined. Asterisk indicates the stop codon. Boxed sequence represents the putative polyadenylation signal.Back to article page
