Figure 3. A, Sequence alignment of the d subunit of g complex and of DNA polymerase IV b-binding peptides with the corresponding consensus sequence.[12.] The most conserved residues are highlighted in blue and the red lines delimit sub-sites 1 and 2 (see Results and Discussion). B, Schematic representation of the b-binding pocket. Peptide P16 is drawn in red, highly conserved b residues are boxed in green and less conserved residues in open boxes. Green, black and open circles identify b residues interacting with the most conserved residues of peptide P16, i.e. residues L16, L14 and Q11, respectively. Green and white bars on the right identify the conserved and less conserved parts within the two sub-sites, respectively.
