Fig. 1

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of 57 β-CA protein sequences. They include sequences (102 amino acid residues starting three amino acid residues prior to the first highly conserved sequence; CXDXR) from defined protozoan, insect, and nematode species, as well as ten β-CA protein sequences from bacterial endosymbionts of protozoans, insects, and nematodes, and Afipia spp. (K8NQ88), Anaeromyxobacter spp. (A7HD59), Campylobacter spp. (K0I0K3), Salmonella spp. (Q8ZRS0), Gardnerella spp. (E3D7T4), Emticicia spp. (I2EZ21), Simkania spp. (F8L9G5), Nostoc spp. (Q8YT17), Exiguobacterium spp. (K0ACL8), and Fusobacterium spp. (C6JPI1). First (CXDXR) and second (HXXC) highly conserved motifs of β-CAs are shown with two black arrows at the bottom of the figure
