The T. cruzi oligopeptidase B is homologous to members of the prolyl oligopeptidase family of serine hydrolases. Residues 412– 683 of the T. cruzi oligopeptidase B (top) are aligned with Moraxella lacunata (residues 385–655; Yoshimoto et al., 1995) and Escherichia coli protease II (residues 384– 653; Kanatani et al., 1991), and prolyl oligopeptidases from Flavobacterium meningosepticum (residues 409– 676; Yoshimoto et al., 1991), Aeromonas hydrophila (residues 390–657; Kanatani et al., 1993), and porcine brain (residues 403–681; Rennex et al., 1991). Identical residues are boxed, and the active site serine residue included in the consensus sequence GxSxGGzz is denoted by an asterisk (*).
