Figure 2
Alignment of DltA from S. aureus, B. cereus and B. subtilis. Orange backgrounds indicate 100% sequence identity and yellow backgrounds indicate amino acids with similar physicochemical properties. The P-loop, hinge region and unique short loop of S. aureus discussed in the text are marked with blue boxes. Sequence-conservation scores were calculated from the alignment of 100 DltA sequences from different species using Scorecons (Valdar, 2002). The resulting per-residue scores were then plotted against the S. aureus DltA sequence. |
