FIG. 3.

Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of Nocardia CAR with a representative sample of putative homologous molecules from other organisms. Identical amino acids are highlighted in black, and similar amino acids are highlighted in gray. The Clustal W program was used to align the above sequences, and Boxshade (setting, 0.7) was used to determine the degree of residue shading. Accession numbers for the other protein sequences above are as follows: MtfadD, M. tuberculosis (Z77724); MlAcS, M. leprae (NP_301424); Msmeg, Mycobacterium smegmatis (Contig 3313); MBCG, M. bovis BCG (unnamed hypothetical protein at bases 2,885,319 to 2,888,822).
