Sequence and schematic structure of An. maculipennis odorant-binding protein 1 (Amacobp1) gene. a Genomic sequence of Amacobp1 gene containing two introns among three exons. The deduced amino acids sequences of Amacobp1 gene is shown below the coding regions. Start (ATG) and stop (TAA) codons are italicized, in bold. A putative imitator sequence, TCAGG, similar to the arthropod imitator consensus, the consensus for TATA box/TATAAA, and the imperfect polyadenylation signals (AATA, AATTAA, AATTT, AAATAA) are shown in bold-italic text. Solid underlines indicate untranslated reading fragments (UTRs), and dashed underlines show the open reading fragments (ORFs) of exons. The signal peptide sequence is highlighted in gray and italicized. b Schematic structure of Amacobp1 gene. 5′ exon, internal exon, and 3′ exon are indicated in boxes. Boxes with solid black show ORFs. They are connected with lines that indicate the introns. The 5′ and 3′UTRs are shown in hallow boxes. Numbers indicate the relative positions of UTRs, ORFs, and intron regions
