Amino acid sequence analysis of MycE and MycF. A. Phylogenetic tree of selected O-methyltransferases generated by MegAlign (DNASTAR) with Clustal W method. MycE and MycF are highlighted in bold and italic. The selected O-methyltransferases include MycE and MycF (mycinamicin pathway), TylE and TylF (tylosin pathway), ChmMI and ChmMII (chalcomycin pathway), SpnH, SpnI, and SpnK (spinosad pathway), BusH, BusI, and BusK (butenyl spinosyn pathway), SnogY (nogalamycin pathway), OleY (oleandomycin pathway), ElmMI, ElmMII, and ElmMIII (elloramycin pathway), NovP (novobiocin pathway), CumN (coumermycin pathway), and MtfB (mycobacterial serovar-specific glycopeptidolipid pathway); B. SAM binding motifs of MycE and its homologs; C. SAM binding motifs of MycF and its homologs.
