Comparison of the amino acid sequences of potential copper coordination sites in multicopper oxidases. CotA, B. subtilis CotA (NCBI entry NP_388511); BOD, M. verrucaria BOD (NCBI entry Q12737); CLA, Coprinus cinereus laccase (NCBI entry 1HFUA); TLA, Trametes villosa laccase (NCBI entry AAB47735); MLA, Melanocarpus albomyces laccase (NCBI entry CAE00180). The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the potential coordination sites for type 1, 2, and 3 copper ions, respectively. The amino acid residues presumed to be involved in binding copper are boxed. The amino acid residues of CotA closely related to those of BOD are indicated by arrowheads.
