FIGURE 1.


Multiple sequence alignment of AntR with selected members of the ArsR//SmtB family. (a). Multiple alignment (accession numbers in parentheses). C. testosteroni JL40 AntR (WP034375793.1); Synechocystis sp. PCC 7942 SmtB (CAA45872); C. glutamicum CgArsR1 (CAF21518); A. ferrooxidans (ACK80311), S. putrefaciens SpArsR (ADV53698): plasmid R773 ArsR (CAA34168); and plasmid pI258 CadC (P20047). The multiple alignment was calculated with CLUSTAL W. Cysteine residues are highlighted in yellow. Identical (black highlight) and conservative replacements (gray highlight) are identified. (b). Evolutionary relatedness of AntR with other ArsR family repressors. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree shows that AntR is more closely related to the Zn(II)/Cd(II)/Pb(II)-responsive repressor SmtB than to As(III)/Sb(III)-responsive ArsR repressors
