Alignment of the AB-regions of MaAmyB and 3 additional GH13_42 members (CAB06816, BAJ27020.1, BAL91723.1), Pfam CL0058 and CDD CD11339 from the databases and 4 characterized α-amylases: Pig pancreatic α-amylase (PPA) (P00690.3), Taka amylase A from Aspergillus oryzae (TAKA) (P0C1B4.1), Bacillus licheniformis α-amylase (BLA) (P06278.1) and MaAmyA (AKG25402.1).
The B-region is indicated in purple, the two insertions in the A-region of GH13_42 are indicated in grey. The α-helices of the (β/α)8 barrel are indicated in green, β-sheets in red. Conserved Ca2+ binding aspartate residues are indicated in dark grey23. Other conserved residues are indicated in blue23. The 7 conserved regions of α-amylases are indicated with dashed orange lines and roman numbers23. Amino acid numbering as in MaAmyB.
