Figure 1

Amino acid alignment of Vd GST-mu1 with other acarine muGSTs. muGSTs from two mites, Sarcoptes scabiei type hominis [GenBank: AY825933] and Psoroptes ovis [GenBank: AM991140], and from two ticks Boophilus microplus [GenBank: AF077609] and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus [GenBank: AY298732] were aligned with Vd GST-mu1. The boxed areas represent conserved mu-class GST motifs. Putative glutathione (black highlighted "G") and substrate (black highlighted "H") binding sites are indicated. Homology across the five acarine sequences is indicated "*" = residue identity; ":" = conserved residue and "." = semi-conserved residue.
