Figure 6
Structure-based sequence alignment of AtlE, LytB SP, ACOD, Lmo, FlgJ and HLYZ (the proteins from Fig. 5). Alignment was performed with STRAP (Gille & Frömmel, 2001). The regions at the N-termini, which do not exhibit any similarity among the structures, were excluded from this alignment. Hyphens correspond to deletions, whereas dots, lowercase and uppercase characters correspond to residues that are identical, similar and different, respectively, from the sequence at the top. The catalytic Glu residue and the residues addressed in the text for their importance in substrate binding are marked with asterisks. |
