Fig. 1. Alignment of the amino acid sequence of human ACase, zebrafish Asah1a, and Asah1b. The amino acid sequences of the precursor (prior to autocleavage) human ACase (Uniprot code Q13510), zebrafish Asah1a (Uniprot code Q5XJR7), and Asah1b (Uniprot code Q6PH71) are aligned using ClustalO(1.2.4) (45). (∗) indicates a conserved residue between the three sequences, (:) indicates a strongly similar residue, and (.) indicates a more weak similar residue. The signal peptide is predicted using SignalP-5.0 and depicted in blue (44). Important residues in human ACase are colored: the catalytic Cys143 is depicted in red, Cys31-Cys340 forming a disulfide bridge in pink, residues important for substrate hydrolysis and autocleavage in orange (Arg159 and Asp162, Glu225, Asn320, and Arg332), and the four assigned glycosylation sites in green (31). ACase, acid ceramidase. |
