Figure 2. The multiple sequence alignment of glucosamine 6-phsophate deaminases (GlmD) with glucosamine 6-phosphate synthases (GlmS). Amino acid sequences of the GlmD (1-325) from P. furiosus (Pfu_glmD), GlmD (1-326) and iosmerase domain (252-602) of GlmS from T. kodakaraensis (Tko_Glms and Tko_GlmD), and isomerase domain (249-608) of GlmS from E. coli (Eco_GlmS) were aligned. Numbering shown is from P. furiosus GlmD. Shown above alignments are elements of secondary structure of GlmD from P. furiosus. Residues involved in glucosamine 6-phsophate binding are marked with closed blue triangles. Multiple alignment was done using the T-coffe software and visualized using ESPript softwate both located on the ExPASy Proteomics Server (http://au.expasy.org/).
