FIGURE 1.
Multiple amino acid sequence alignment of CiaR across 12 streptococcal species. Homologous sequences with 91–100% similarities. The 12 streptococcal species, namely, S. pneumoniae TIGR4, S. mitis B6, S. oralis ATCC 35037, S. infantis SK1302, S. agalactiae 2603V/R, S. mutans UA159, S. equinus ATCC 700338, S. gordonii str. Challis substr. CH1, S. sanguinis SK36, S. suis BM407, S. uberis 0140J, and S. pyogenes MGAS5005. The residues labeled with * represent the invariant residues. The height in the bar graph represents the conservation of amino acids.
