Figure 1. — Sequence conservation in the PM of bacterial Kv channels. (A) An HMM logo for the PM sequence alignment, extracted from an alignment of 85 FL sequences of candidate bacterial Kv's with the sequences of KvAP and KvLm sharing a maximum of 90% pairwise sequence similarity (BLOSUM 62), reports the scaled amino acid frequency distribution at each position in the PM sequence. (B) The conservation of the PM sequence in Kv channels is shown in an alignment of PM sequences of two prokaryotic Kv channels (KvLm and KvAP) with those from a prokaryotic K⁺ channel lacking a formal VSM (KcsA) and an eukaryotic Kv channel (Kv 1.2). Sequence identities and similarities are colored with a black and gray background.
