FIG. 2.
Alignment of amino acid sequences of acetyltransferases from staphylococci and enterococci (1–3, 9) conferring resistance to streptogramin A antibiotics. Identical residues are indicated by asterisks. Highly conserved regions in different streptogramin A acetyltransferases—motifs I, II, and III—are boldfaced. Primers satI and satJ have been designed on the basis of the corresponding nucleotide sequences in motifs II and III (2).
