Multiple sequence alignments of amino acid sequence of BdPho with those of other insect defensins. The amino acid sequences are from B. dorsalis (BdPho, KY038166), B. oleae (BoPho, XP_014095033); Ceratitis capitata (CcPho, XP_004537627); Protophormia terraenovae (PtPho, P10891); Sarcophaga peregrina (SpSap, AAA29984), and Musca domestica (MdDef, AIL24687). The signal peptide of BdPho is on a gray background. The conserved mature peptide cleavage sites “-KR-” are boxed, and amino acids corresponding to predicted α-helix are underlined. Identical residues are indicated by * under the residues. The triangles indicate the six conserved cysteine residues and the dashed lines indicate the disulfide bonds
