Figure 3.
Figure 3. ALSCRIPT[34.] alignment of three phylogenetically related groups of sequences, each containing Gln corresponding to PhoE Gln22. The groups, whose relationship is clear from phylogenetic analysis of a T-COFFEE alignment [35.] with PROTDIST and PROTPARS of the PHYLIP package, [36.] are separated by horizontal lines. For clarity, not all the sequences analyzed are shown. The sequences determined in the Streptococcus pyogenes MGAS315 genome[37.] represent the three determined S. pyogenes genomes. Similarly, Streptococcus pneumoniae R6[38.] and Listeria monocytogenes,[39.] were arbitrarily chosen as respective representatives of the two streptococcal and two listeria genomes sequenced. The Listeria monocytogenes sequence with Genbank code 16802560 contains 18 further residues at the N-terminal end, as indicated, which are not included in the alignment. PhoE numbering and secondary structure (determined with STRIDE[40.] for the high resolution phosphate complex) are shown above the alignment. Boxes mark residues of the catalytic core and shaded residues form the hydrophobic substrate-binding site in PhoE. Highly conserved positions are emboldened and totally conserved residues additionally italicized.
