FIG. 4.

Comparison of the sequences of the amino termini of Php-A, Php-B, and Php-C with similar sequences in the database. Amino acids (single-letter code) that are identical to those in P. luminescens subsp. laumondii strain TT01 sequences are indicated by boldface type; a dash indicates a gap in the alignment. X in the Php-B sequence shows sites where the residue could not be identified. The numbering of positions is the numbering in the open reading frames of the TT01 genome. An asterisk indicates an enzyme translated from a genomic survey sequence (GenBank accession number AQ990436) (13). The database search, sequence alignment, and E value calculation were performed by using the FASTA algorithm with TT01 sequences.
