Figure 2

Sequence alignment of the HEN1 family. Amino acids are colored according to the physico-chemical properties of their side-chains (negatively charged: red, positively charged: blue, polar: magenta, hydrophobic: green. Residues conserved in > 50% sequences are highlighted. Putative catalytic residues are indicated by "*", putative RNA-binding residues are indicated by "#". Predicted secondary structure elements are shown below the alignment. Terminal extensions and non-conserved insertions have been removed for clarity (the number of omitted amino acids is indicated). Conserved motifs common to most of RFM enzymes are indicated by Roman numerals, the motif characteristic for the HEN1 family is also indicated.
