a Amino acid frequency of H-fibroin repetitive domains. The frequencies of C. pungelerii (Cpu) and Bambalina sp. (Bam) were significantly correlated (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = 0.98, p < 0.01). b Boxplot comparing the repeat lengths of each motif. (A) nE(A)n showed a common length of 23 residues, while the GA motifs in C. pungelerii (Cpu) showed only half the length of those in other bagworms, regardless of whether they contained serine or not
