Figure 1. Sequence Homology of eIF1A-like Proteins across All KingdomsSequence alignments adapted from the paper by [25]. Amino acids that have greater than 50% identity over 12 sequences analyzed by Kyrpides (more than shown in figure) are shaded. Identities between human and yeast are shown with black circles (65% identity). Side bars indicate sequences from eukaryotes (E), archaebacteria (A), and eubacteria (B/IF1). The secondary structure of human eIF1A (determined in this paper) over the region that has observable long-range NOEs is shown below the sequence (wavy lines indicate coils or turns; arrows indicate strands; cylinders indicate helices). The secondary structure elements are labeled β for β strand, α for α and 3[10] helices, L for loops connecting β strands or helices, N for amino-terminal strand, C for carboxy-terminal strand. Loop numbering indicates the secondary structure elements connect by the loops (adapted from [32]). For instance, L12 connects strand 1 and 2, and L3α connects strand 3 and the subsequent helix 1. Organisms are: HUMAN, Homo sapiens; YEAST, Saccharomyces cerevisiae; METJA, Methanococcus jannaschii; ARCFU, Archaeoglobus fulgidus; ECOLI, Escherichia coli; BACSU, Bacillus subtilis.
