From: Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv1096 protein: gene cloning, protein expression, and peptidoglycan deacetylase activity

Figure 1

Multiple sequence alignment of Rv1096, sp PgdA, lmo0415 and XynD proteins. spPgdA, S. pneumoniae peptidoglycan GlcNAc deacetylase (gi:14972969); lmo0415, L. monocytogenes peptidoglycan GlcNAc deacetylase (gi:16409792); XynD, L. Lactis peptidoglycan GlcNAc deacetylase (gi:281490824). Black regions indicate identical residues in the four proteins, while residues conserved between at least two of the proteins are marked by boxes. Two catalytic histidine residues (H-326 and H-330) are conserved among Rv1096 and the other three deacetylases [10]. Rv1096 contains the metal ligand sites, Asp (D-275), Arg (A-295), Asp (D-391) and His (H-417) residues, which were identified in the S. pneumonia PgdA protein.
