Sequence alignment of the four bicupins from B. subtilis. Residues in the so-called cupin motifs that coordinate a metal cofactor are highlighted. The consensus cupin motif is shown below the sequence alignment (adapted from Dunwell et al., 2000 ▶). YxaG is a quercetin dioxygenase, whereas YvrK and YoaN are oxalate decarboxylases. The function of YwfC remains to be determined.
