FIG. 3.

Amino acid sequence identities of the ClpABC family of proteins. Sequences were aligned to the profile which was generated from all ClpABC sequences used in this study. Species’ amino acid similarities to the profile are indicated by white (gaps), shades of gray (similarity with the profile), and black (complete identity with the profile). Major structural regions including the N1 and N2 regions that contain the ATP-binding sites are identified above the alignment. The accession numbers for the sequences used in the alignment are as follows: Swiss-PROT P03815, P05444, P15716, P31541, P17422, P31539, P31542, P31543, P33416, P35100, P37571, P42730, P44403, P49574, P53532, P53533, P53533, and P77686; and GenBank 511145, 755163, 1001555, 1171612, 1314297, 1563721, 1653543, 1653648, 1705923, 1705925, 1946209, 2058336, 2113980, 2146076, L35272, M67479, and U46549.
