Figure 2. Structural alignment of Flavivirus helicase domain of KUNV, DENV and YFV. The conserved motifs among superfamily 2 helicases are boxed in pink (motif I, corresponding to Walker A), cyan (motif II, corresponding to Walker B), and gray (motif Ia, III, IV, V and VI). The different constructs are identified above the sequences, for KUNV (in black), and below for YFV (in yellow), respectively. The secondary structure elements stretches indicated refer to KUNV NS3:186–619 chain A: blue, domain I; red, domain II; and green, domain III. In dark green is the alignment of HCV with KUNV showing the only homologues amino acids.
