Abstract

Relationships among 18 peroxidases amino acid sequences of animal, microbial and plant origin were examined using optimum alignment of all pairwise sequence combinations to generate a total distance matrix. The matrix was used to cluster the sequences with complete linkage (farthest neighbour) procedures. Specific distances were calculated from the total distances matrix. The patterns of specific distances for each sequence were compared to evaluate the relationships between sequences, check their significance and construct subgroups of related sequences. The results were compared with those from clustering and its resultant dendrogram; good agreement was achieved. The 18 sequences fell into two principal groups, plant peroxidases and animal/microbial peroxidases. Within the plant peroxidases four subgroups were detected; the animal/microbial peroxidases formed a fifth subgroup. Profiles were constructed for the subgroups from lists of matching amino acids generated by the alignment calculations. Superimposed lists were realigned to recognise conserved areas and elements. Individual subgroup profiles for the plant peroxidases were then combined into a single profile which in turn was combined with profiles from the animal/microbial peroxidases. The final profile suggested that numerous sequence features (motifs) were common to peroxidases of widely different function and origins.
