Figure 1

ClustalW protein sequence alignment of murine polyene oxygenase family members with ACO. Conserved iron-coordinating residues are in bold black, conserved tyrosines in bold blue and the acidic residues of the signature sequence in bold red. Nonconserved aromatics studied are in blue. The last 4 amino acids of mouse BCMO1 were removed. GenBank™/EBI accession numbers are as follows: mouse BCMO1, AF271298; mouse BCMO2, AJ290392; mouse RPE65, NM_029987; Synechocystis LSD (ACO), D90914. Alignment coding: * identity, : strong similarity, weak similarity.
