Deduced amino sequence comparison of TBT (accession no. AF297618) from
T. cuspidata, anthranilate
N-hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyltransferase (PCHCBT,
accession no. Z84383) from Dianthus caryophyllus,
10-deacetylbaccatin III 10-O-acetyltransferase (DBAT,
accession no. AF193765) from T. cuspidata,
taxadien-5α-ol O-acetyltransferase (TAT, accession no.
AF190130) from T. cuspidata, deacetylvindoline
4-O-acetyltransferase (DAT, accession no. AF053307) from
Catharanthus roseus, and benzyl alcohol
acetyltransferase (BEAT, accession no. AF043464) from Clarkia
breweri. Residues boxed in black indicate positional identity
for at least three of the compared sequences; similar amino acids are
indicated by gray shading. Asterisks (*) indicate conserved
residues in all acyltransferase sequences. Pound signs (#) indicate a
putative acyl group transfer motif (HXXXDG) present in five of the six
sequences. The alignment was created with the pileup
program (Wisconsin Package Version 10; Genetics Computer Group,
Madison, WI).
