Alignment of Culicidae protein members from the 5′ nucleotidase/Apyrase family. Using the BLASTp program, 13 Culicidae protein sequences related to 5′nucleotidase (gi|114864746) from An. funestus were selected (E-value<1.10^-4, coverage ≥70% and identity ≥ 50%). An alignment of Culicidae 5′nucleotidase/apyrase proteins to 5′nucleotidase from An. funestus (f5′nuc, gi|114864746) was performed with ClustalW. Only the parts of the protein sequence aligned with the f5′nuc protein sequence are presented. Mosquito species, protein name, accession numbers and amino-acid positions are indicated, and conserved amino acids are shaded. The percentages of identical amino acid residues and sequence recovering compared with f5′nuc (gi|114864746) are listed for each of the selected proteins.
