Figure 4From: Rhythmic expression of the cycle gene in a hematophagous insect vectorPotential Sumo modification and Phosphorylation sites in the L. longipalpis CYCLE sequence. Potential Sumo modification and Phosphorylation sites in the L. longipalpis CYCLE sequence. (A) Alignment of the M. musculus, A. gambiae, D. melanogaster and L. longipalpis PAS linker region. The three insect species listed contains a potential SUMO consensus motif and the correspondent Lys that is sumoylated in mammals. (B) A Ser-rich region (Ser underlined) is shown for M. musculus, A. gambiae and L. longipalpis CYC. Ser and Thr residues are phosphorylated in mammals and their potential cognates in L. longipalpis and A. gambiae CYC are highlighted in yellow. In red is marked the position of the alternatively spliced Arg (see text).Back to article page
