Fig. 5. Conservation of sequences in the N-terminal segment of . An alignment of the first 26 residues of , from the list of sequences given in Table 3, is shown. The alignment is colored according to the degree of sequence conservation. These 26 residues are disordered in the crystal structure of the : complex, yet a high amount of conservation is observed. It is proposed that the this linker binds to the clamp-loader complex, tethering the : heterodimer to the complex.
