(A) Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree inferred from structural alignment of proteins available from PDB. LsAMP-1 and LsAMP-2 are in bold. The red square highlights the monophyletic cluster including LsAMP-1, LsAMP-2, heliomicin (1i2vA and 1i2uA) and ARD1 (1p0aA and 1p0oA). (B) Theoretical three-dimensional models of LsAMP-1 (top) and LsAMP-2 (botton). Disulfide bridges are connected with sticks. And (C) alignment of defensin mature sequences highlighted in (A). Lines in black represent the cysteine connections and the γ-core of these proteins are within the yellow square
