Partial protein sequence alignment of plant and insect decarboxylases and aromatic acetaldehyde synthases. Catharanthus roseus tryptophan decarboxylase (P17770), Papaver somniferum tyrosine decarboxylase (AAC61842), Drosophila melanogaster dopa decarboxylase (NP_724164.1), Apis mellifera dopa decarboxylase (XP_394115.2), Arabidopsis thaliana aromatic acetaldehyde synthase (NP 849999), Rosa hybrid cultivar phenylacetaldehyde synthase (ABB04522.1), Apis mellifera 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DHPA) synthase, Drosophila melanogaster DHPA synthase (NP_724162.1) protein sequences are compared. The conservations of His vs. Asn residues at the equivalent position with His192 of Drosophila melanogaster dopa decarboxylase (NP_724164.1) are highlighted by red box. The conservations of flexible loop Tyr vs. Phe at the equivalent position with Tyr348 of Catharanthus roseus tryptophan decarboxylase (P17770) are highlighted by blue box.
