Cloning, Identification, and Characterization of the rpoS-Like Sigma Factor rpoX from Vibrio alginolyticus

Figure 1

Alignment of the amino acid sequences of rpoX from V. alginolyticus ZJ-51 (this study, the rpoX gene gb: FJ358498), rpoS-like sigma factor from V. alginolyticus 12G01(ZP_01261551), Vibrio sp. MED222 (ZP_01063551) and V. splendidus LGP32 (YP_002395435), RpoQ from V. fischeri ES114 (YP_206973), and rpoS from V. alginolyticus (ABW86844) with the accession number of the databases indicated in parentheses. Identical amino acid residues present in three or more proteins are boxed in black. Similar residues are highlighted in gray. The V. alginolyticus rpoX translated sequence overall identity ranges from 36% to 100% for the other sequences shown.
