Figure 9.
FIG. 9. Alignment of the ClpS sequences with the N-terminal domain of eClpA. NT-eClpA denotes the N-terminal domain of eClpA (PDB code 1K6K [PDB] ); COG542-eClpA indicates the consensus N-terminal domain of eClpA structures found by BLAST (NCBI CD, COG0542.1,ClpA; PSSM-Idm 10413); N domain denotes the Clp N-terminal domain found in one or two copies at the N terminus of ClpA and ClpB proteins from bacteria or eukaryotes. Color code: positions with polar residue conservation in blue; charge conservation in red, and hydrophobicity conservation in green. Conserved residues are shown in boldface. The magenta (LL1) and orange (LL2) rectangles indicate residues from two loop regions on ClpS1,2. The equivalent loops in NT-eClpA possibly provide most of the interacting surface when bound to eClpS.
