Comparative analyses of Hsp60 homologues. Multiple alignment of the amino acid sequences of 60 kDa chaperonin 1 gene products from C. pseudotuberculosis strain T1 (Cp1) [NCBI Acc. No. AAV48830.1] compared to Hsp60 from different organisms, including C. diphtheriae NCTC 13129 (Cd1) [NCBI Acc. No. NP_938952.1], C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 (Cg1) [NCBI Acc. No. NP_599834.1], M. leprae TN (Ml1) [NCBI Acc. No. NP_301373.1], M. tuberculosis H37Rv (Mt1) [NCBI Acc. No. NP_217934.1] and N. farcinica IFM 10152 (Nf1) [NCBI Acc. No. YP_117096.1]. Shaded areas in black indicate identical amino acids, and with gray background indicate similar amino acid residues. The gaps (-), identical (*) and similar (. or:) amino acid residues also are indicated.
