FIG 1.
Multisequence alignment of 495 amino acid sequences homologous to LcpK30. A BLASTp search with the sequence of LcpK30 as query revealed many homologous sequences of which 495 were chosen for this alignment, considering sequence coverage, length, and similarity. The sequences of the biochemically characterized Lcps are provided, and the residue numbering refers to LcpK30. The values of conservation (as percentages) for the residues chosen in this study (highlighted in red) are given below. A 13-residue-long highly conserved region is indicated by a green bar. The degree of conservation of a specific residue position is indicated by the height of the respective column.
