FIG. 4.

Alignment of the repeated motif from the bacteriocin protein. The six repeated amino acid sequences were aligned with CLUSTALV. Positions that have amino acids that are conserved (∗) or have conservative substitutions (■) in all six repeats are shown below the alignment. The position of the repeat in the deduced protein is shown by the amino acid number immediately to the left of each sequence. Amino acids that are conserved in at least three of the six repeats are boxed. A possible signature sequence is shown below the alignment.
