Sequence alignment of the putative ClpP from L. pneumophila with other prokaryotic ClpP proteins. Numbers indicate the positions of amino acids in the sequences, and dashes show gaps inserted for an optimal alignment. Identical or similar residues are labeled with asterisks or periods, respectively. The highly conserved catalytic Ser-110, His-135 and Asp-184 are shown as light color. Lla, Lactococcus lactis.
