title: An alignment of 17 deduced protein sequences from plant, fungi, and ciliate H(+)-ATPase genes.
abstract: Seventeen protein sequences of H(+)-ATPases from plants (Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, Lycopersicum esculentum), fungi (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Neuropora crassa, Candida albicans), and a parasitic ciliate (Leishmania donovani) have been aligned. Twenty sequence fragments were identified which were conserved in H(+)-, Na+/K(+)-, and Ca++ plasma membrane-ATPases. In addition, a total of 118 residues not located in these fragments were found to be conserved in all H(+)-ATPases. Among those, 38 amino acid residues were screened out as being priority targets for site-directed mutagenesis experiments aimed at the identification of the amino acid residues specifically involved in cation specificity.
