Alignment showing the amino acid degree of conservation between HilA-like proteins. Sequence alignment using T-Coffee algorithms (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/tcoffee/) of the amino acid sequences of the EilA, HilA, YgeH₀₄₂ and YgeH_O157 proteins [Swiss-Prot: D3H2F7, E1WAC1, D3GSU9, Q8X6H5, respectively]. The different intensities of blue colours indicate the amino acid degree of conservation. The black boxes represent the consensus sequence resulting from the alignment.
