Phylogenetic relationships of Japanese flounder caspase proteins. Phylogenetic relationships among the Japanese flounder caspase 1, 2, 3, 6 and 8 proteins and their counterparts in other teleost species were determined using the ClustalW program, and the bootstrap-consensus neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree was built using MEGA software version 5.0 with the default parameters. The GenBank accession numbers for the caspases proteins from the different species are as follows: Oreochromis niloticus caspase 1: XP_005459436.1, caspase 2: XP_005455468.1, caspase 3: NP_001269823.1, caspase 6: XP_013131214.1, caspase 8: XP_003457507.2; Maylandia zebra caspase 1: XP_004543706.1, caspase 2: XP_004550818.1, caspase 3: XP_004549328.1, caspase 6: XP_014268841.1, caspase 8: XP_012778477.1; Larimichthy crocea caspase 1: KKF14496.1, caspase 2: KKF24100.1, caspase 6: KKF09831.1, caspase 8: KKF31210.1; Takifugu ruubripes caspase 1R: XP_003979716.1, caspase 2R: XP_011615364.1, caspase 3: AAM43816.1, caspase 6: XP_003972493.2; Cynoglossus semilaevis caspase 6: XP_008315389.1; and those in the list in the legend of Fig. 1
