Figure 3From: Isolation identification and biochemical characterization of a novel halo-tolerant lipase from the metagenome of the marine sponge Haliclona simulansAlignment of Lpc53E1 with related members of group VIII lipases. The alignment includes; closely related putative β-lactamase proteins from C. litoralis and γ-proteobacterium NOR5; esterase and hydrolase enzymes from Gordonia and B. linens; dd-carboxypeptidases from Streptomyces sp., and; true class C β-lactamase enzymes from E. coli and E. cloacae. Amino acids shared by 6 or more proteins are shaded. The β-lactamase active site S, K and Y are indicated with ●. Alignment was performed with ClustalW using MEGA 5.Back to article page
