Fig. 1. Sequence alignment of cathepsin L and SERA5E. (a) Structural alignment^29 of SERA5E with the enzyme domain of cathepsin L (CatL; PDB 1mhw). Secondary-structure elements (helices and strands, cylinders and arrows, respectively) in SERA5E are indicated. Lowercase font refers to structurally unaligned regions. (b) Secondary-structure topology of SERA5E, showing disulfide bonding between cysteine residues; disulfide bonds unique to SERA5E are asterisked (1–2* between C567 and C572, 3–5* between C581 and C610). Black circles indicate the relative disposition of the triad of catalytic residues S596, H762, and N787.
