Figure 3

Amino acids of the ketoacyl synthase (KS) active site motif conserved throughout different evolutionary sub-groups. The analysis focuses on the protistan Type I PKS in chlorophytes, haptophytes, Apicomplexa and dinoflagellates. The height of the sequence logo given below the alignment represents the degree of conservation. The asterisks indicate the conserved amino acids required for catalytic activity, which are present in all A. spinosum sequences (AS3D901-06) except the probably incomplete AS3D905 sequence.
