FIG. 3.

Comparison of 2-methylcitrate synthase motifs with the corresponding citrate synthase signature. The shaded amino acids are the putative active sites (http://www.jgi.doe.gov/tempweb/JGI_microbial/html/index.html), which were identified on the basis of similarity. References, accession numbers (if available) and contig numbers are given in parentheses. Data for some of the organisms were obtained from the following websites: B. cepacia, R. metallidurans CH34, and Pseudomonas fluorescens, http://www.expasy.ch/cgi-bin/nicesite.pl?PS00161; and P. putida KT2440, P. syringae, and S. putrefaciens, http://www.tigr.org/cgi-bin/BlastSearch/blast.cgi?organism.
