Amino acid sequence of venom waprins from T. bicarinatum and snake species. The waprin-like sequence from T. bicarinatum Tb16400 was aligned with waprin snake venoms of the species Rhabdophis tigrinus tigrinus [GenBank: A7X4J4], Thrasops jacksonii [GenBank: A7X4I7], Naja nigricollis [GenBank: P60589], Liophis poecilogyrus [GenBank: A7X4L4] and Philodryas olfersii [GenBank: A7X4K7]. The conserved cysteines are shaded with black and the prolyl residue described in the WAP family domain is indicated by an open red rectangle. The signature pattern of cysteine residues (CxxxxxCxxxxxCC) in the central region found in all WAP-motif proteins is indicated. The signal peptide of the predicted T. bicarinatum waprin-like Tb16400 is indicated by a solid green triangle.
