Figure 1. Amino acid sequence properties of M16B peptidase family members. A: Domain structures of the M16 peptidase family. The residues of the zinc-binding motif HxxEHxare represented as vertical dotted lines. The glycine-rich region of MPP is indicated by a black filled box. The abbreviations of the representative proteins are on the left side. IDE, insulin-degrading enzyme; Ptr, pitrilysin; MPP, -subunit of mitochondrial processing peptidase; Core1, core domain 1 of cytochrome bc1 complex; RPP, rickettsial processing peptidase; ppBH4, putative peptidase of Bacillus halodurans H4; [74][alpha.gif] MPP, -subunit of mitochondrial processing peptidase; Core 2, core domain 2 of cytochrome bc1 complex; PreP, presequence peptidase; EuPtr, eupitrilysin. B: Multiple sequence alignment of prokaryotic MPP homologues retrieved at SSDB (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/ssdb/). The UniProt accession numbers are Q5SIV0 (Thermus thermophilus HB8), Q1IW66 (Deinococcus geothermalis), Q7ULM7 (Rhodopirellula baltica), Q5P733 (Azoarcus sp. EbN1), Q479N3 (Dechloromonas aromatica), A1WZF7 (Halorhodospira halophila), Q2JSQ8 (Cyanobacteria Yellowstone A-Prime), Q7NHF1 (Gloeobacter violaceus), and Q7U7A2 (Synechococcus sp. WH8102). The secondary structure elements of TTHA1264 are shown above each column.
