FIG. 4.

Suspected fibronectin-binding peptides. (A) AlignX Blocks was used to define homologous regions between PlpA, Hlp3, and known fibronectin-binding proteins. (B) Peptides derived from the most homologous regions of each block are shown. Peptides shown to bind fibronectin are displayed in red. (C) Peptides 1 (Hlp3) and 7 (PlpA) are aligned. Identical amino acids are shown in red, similar amino acids are shown in purple, and dissimilar amino acids are shown in blue. These peptides, each shown to bind fibronectin, are 60% identical and 80% similar.
