FIG. 2.

C-terminal domain of LytE. Its homology to the following exoproteins is shown: invasion-associated protein P60 of Listeria ivanovii and Listeria monocytogenes (4), amylase of Clostridium acetobutylicum (24), P54 of Enterococcus faecium (10), NlpC of Escherichia coli (13), and d-Glu-ld-(meso)-diaminopimelate endopeptidase of B. sphaericus (13). The consensus sequence is presented at the bottom of the figure (uppercase letters represent amino acids conserved in all examined proteins; lowercase letters represent conserved amino acids belonging to the same family).
