Figure 2
Sequence alignment showing the enolase-recognition site of RNase E. The sequences of enolase-recognition sites from the C-terminal domain of RNase E from representative γ-proteobacterial species (RNase E microdomain, residues 823–850) are indicated by a green bar. The sequence alignment was prepared using BLAST and the figure was prepared using ESPript (Gouet et al., 1999). Adjacent to the enolase-binding site is a conserved segment corresponding to residues 798–819 (blue bar) that encompasses the arginine-rich region of RNase E (AR2; see §3). |
