FIGURE 4.

Sequence comparison between BstDEAD and the five most closely related proteins. The conserved motifs in the N-terminal domain are highlighted in colored boxes as in Figure 1 ▶. The conserved motifs found in the C-terminal domain are colored as follows: motif IV, green; motif V, magenta; and motif VI, aqua. The approximate boundary of the C-terminal extension is boxed, and basic residues within this region are colored red (Arg) and green (Lys). The sequence alignment was done with CLUSTALW (Thompson et al. 1994), and the figure was generated by using ALSCRIPT (Barton 1993). Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL accession codes are as follows: Bacillus anthracis, Q81LV0; Bacillus subtilis, P54475; Listeria innocua, Q92BQ9; Listeria monocytogenes, Q8Y755; and Bacillus halodurans, Q9KD34.
