Physiological Function of Mycobacterial mtFabD, an Essential Malonyl-CoA:AcpM Transacylase of Type 2 Fatty Acid Synthase FASII, in Yeast mct1 Cells

Figure 1

Comparison of M. tuberculosis mtFabD with its E. coli and S. cerevisiae homologs. Multalin- and Genedoc-based comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of M. tuberculosis FabD (Rv2243), E. coli FabD (AP_001718), and S. cerevisiae Mct1p (Yor221cp). Dashes indicate the arrangement of the sequences for best fit. Black shadings refer to conserved amino acid residues among all three sequences whereas the darker and lighter grey shadings denote regions with more relaxed residue similarities not necessarily shared by the full set of sequences.
