Multiple amino acid sequence alignment of Aci HBGase II with other HBGase II homologs. Shown are HBGase II sequences from Apis cerana indica (Ac. indica) in comparison with those from the Japanese honeybee A. cerana japonica (Ac. japonica, GenBank accession # ACN 63343.1), European honeybee A. mellifera (A. mellifera, GenBank accession # NP_001035349.1), predicted maltase 2-like of Apis florea (A. florea, GenBank accession # XP_003691502.1) and predicted maltase 2-like of Bombus impatiens (B. impatien, GenBank accession # XP_003493603.1). Sequences were aligned by the Clustal X program and the similarity across the aligned sequences is shown as identical (*), conserved (:) and semi-conserved (.). The conserved amino acid regions associated with the α-amylase family are underlined.
