Fig. 5. - The most highly conserved RIP amino acids. Our dataset comprised a curated selection from all the proteins available within NCBI's Conserved Domain Database containing a RIP domain. Colours indicate amino acids conserved in at least 70% of sequences. For the two pink-highlighted proteins, the black bolded amino acids were present in 70% of sequences at that position but were not present in the amino acid sequence of the crystal structure. (A) Sequence alignment. RIP domain consensus: the consensus sequence generated from the multiple sequence alignment in Jalview excluding gaps; 1QCI: the amino acid sequence of pokeweed antiviral protein (protein databank: 1QCI). The third line denotes the similarity in the two sequences as determined by Clustal Omega. (B) The crystal structure of 1QCI visualized in UCSF ChimeraX in surface representation; (C) mesh representation; and (D) cartoon representation.
