FIG. 4.

Conservation of tyrosine residues in EPS priming enzymes of different groups of bacteria: multiple alignment of EpsE homologues in bacteria around two conserved tyrosine residues located at positions 162 and 200 in EpsE from S. thermophilus CNRZ1066 (indicated by bold type). Other conserved residues are highlighted with a black or gray background. L. cremoris, Lactococcus cremoris; C. acetobutylicum, Clostridium acetobutylicum; H. actinomycetemcomitans, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; H. influenzae, Haemophilus influenzae; S. typhimurium, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium; A. tumefaciens, Agrobacterium tumefaciens; R. sp NGR234, Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234; E. amylovora, Erwinia amylovora.
