Pos. 2'str Conf. Comments (pos. nos. refer to alnmnt.) YPTP N 1-11 Coil Medium No regular structure. There is a peak in H profile here, and part of the region is predicted helix by the method of Z.\ea, but high turn propensity mediates against this. Ends with highly conserved positive charged/polar triplet (KNR). 12-14 Strand Low Alternate residues are conserved. There is a peak in strand propensity and a minimum in turn prediction. Starts after high turn potential at R11. Ends before high turn potential at G19, ranges 15+16 for LWTR and 12-18 for Z.\ea 15-20 Coil Medium High turn potential, small(A/P 17)/charges (DE19, RK22) residues suggest exposed loop. 21-26 Strand Low Low turn, small peak in strand. Ends before gap, maybe before Gs and Ps at 30. Conservation pattern unclear and is low towards C-term end. Ranges 24 only for LWTR and 22-27 for Z.\ea 27-38 Coil Medium Gap seen here in all but 2 (Yersinia) sequences, therefore likely loop. Low conservation. ____ | | | | 39-45 Strand High V. high sequence conservation, Predicts strongly as E by both LWTR (41-45) and Z.\ea (40-47). ends at conserved small at 48 or before gaps at approx. 50 in all but 2 sequences. D/Y assigned to previous loop due to turn prediction. 46-49 Coil High Gap in all but 2, otherwise poorly conserved, quite polar. 50-55 Strand High Ends at G/P 68/69, last residue identity Q. Except 62, all resi. highly conserved. High turn at 68 ends region. High propensity for E by LWTR (62-66) and predicted E by Z.\ea (62-68). 56-60 Coil High High turn prediction, G/P, low conservation, EKDPR common. 61-71 Helix High High H propensity by LWTR (75-83), turn minimum. 1,4,5,6,8,11 conserved. Ends at gap 84/85 - interesting FW pair? Z.\ea (76-84). 72-75 Coil High Gap. 76-80 Strand High E peak by LWTR (90-92), T trough, ends at conserved small residue. High local conservation of H.phobics. Z.\ea E (90-94). | | |____| 81-88 Coil LOW Low conservation, lots of smalls , some gaps at (). Relatively high turn prediction mediates against helix prediction of LWTR and Z.\ea. 89-93 Strand LOW Ends @ G/P (). High conservation, minimal E propensity predicts as E by Z.\ea. Weak. LWTR 109 only, Z.\ea 103-109. 94-104 Coil LOW Many gaps (all but 1), Low conservation low H and E propensity.Higher than average polar content. 105-110 Strand Medium Consistent prediction of E by LWTR (130-134) and Z.\ea (130-133), high turn prediction at 138 marks end of region (many smalls). Start at end of gap. 111-119 Coil LOW high turn prediction at 138, many smalls, H not likely despite Z.\ea prediction. low conservation, gaps in all but 2 120-129 Strand Medium Weak 0101010 pattern of conservation, peak in E propensity by LWTR (149-153) matched by low T, end at gap. Small number of H prediction where high. Zvel predicts mosly H but is E 151-153. 130-137 Coil Medium Gaps all but 2, low conservation, high turn. ____ | | | | 138-145 Strand High Local E peak (176-180, 175-180), T trough, weak 101010 (high) conservation ends turn peak. 146-161 Coil High High T propensity, conserved WPD, G/P and gaps. 162-169 Helix High H by LWTR and Z.\ea, 1,2,4,5,8 conserved, low T pred. High H, ends at gap (199-208, 198-206). 170-192 Coil Medium Gap, high turn pred, low conservation. 193-197 Strand High Highly conserved region containing active site His+Cys. Low T, High E.

Resi. comp. most likely E ending at gap. High conservation, low T. Small peak in T indicator of end of E? 210-216 Helix Medium Low conservation, weakly conserved pairs of h.phobics agree with high helix prediction, bounded by high turn prediction and gap at C-terminal end. 217-222 Coil Medium large insertions/gaps. Low conservation. 223-230 Helix High 1,5,8,12 conservation pattern, low T, high H by both LWTR and Z.\ea. 231-237 Coil High Gaps, conserved R, possible Phos. binding site. 238-241 Strand Medium Small, highly hydrophobic strand.
