Figure 3
Partial sequence alignments of the DnaE protein showing a large insert of about 28 aa that is uniquely present in Chlorobi homologs. The dashes (-) denote identity with the amino acid on the top line. Except for the Chlorobi species, this insert is not found in any other organism. Sequence information for only representative species from other groups of bacteria is shown. Abbreviations in the species names are: Bac., Bacteroides; Cb., Chlorobaculum; Chl., Chlorobium; Chrom., Chromobacterium; Clo., Clostridium; Pro., Prosthecochloris; Sym., Symbiobacterium; Flavo., Flavobacterium; Strep., Streptococcus.
