FIG. 4.

Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the cmlA5 product (CMLA5) with those of other proteins of the CMLA family (49). Dashes represent conserved amino acids, and one gap introduced for the alignment is indicated by a dot. While CMLA1 is encoded by a gene cassette from In4 (3), CMLA2 is encoded by a gene cassette from In40 (50), CMLA4 is encoded by a gene cassette from In52 (51), and the genes for CMLA3, CMLA3a and -3b (2, 6, 7) are chromosomal and not present on gene cassettes. CMLA3a and -b differ from CMLA3 by one single-amino-acid substitution each (L308F and V274A, respectively); only the sequence of CMLA3 is displayed.
