Structure-based multiple alignment of extracellular pectate lyase sequences.
Pectate lyases are secreted virulence factors which degrade the pectate component of plant cell walls. The evolutionary-based multiple alignment of extracellular pectate lyases has been corrected using three-dimensional structural information derived from Erwinia chyrsanthemi pectate lyases C and E. The new multiple alignment reveals invariant amino acids likely to be involved in two different enzymatic functions.
