Multiple sequence alignment corresponding to the β1 subunit sequences in Plasmodium falciparum and 5 other Plasmodium species and the yeast 20S proteasome. The 'large’ insert region is common to the 20S proteasomes of the Plasmodium species analyzed. '*’ indicates identical residues, ':’ indicates conservative substitutions, '.’ indicates >50% of residues are conserved in the alignment.
