Fig. 2

The completed nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence of Vespa tropica HAase a (VesT2a). The numbering corresponded to the VesT2a sequence. The 5′ and 3′ UTRs were indicated by the small letters. The red stars (✩) (Glu and Asp) indicate active sites of HAase whose activity is highlighted by the red letters. The stop codon was indicated with an asterisk (*). Disulfide bonds were labelled with triangle marks (△): (C₁₉-C₃₀₈ and C₁₈₅-C₁₉₇). Five potential immunogenic sites were indicated with blue boxes (▯)
