From: Characterization of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins from the psychrophilic bacteria Desulfotalea psychrophila, Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Psychrobacter arcticus, Psychrobacter cryohalolentis, Psychromonas ingrahamii, Psychroflexus torquis, and Photobacterium profundum

Figure 1

The multiple amino acid alignment of the SSB proteins under study, with the SSBs from psychrophilic, mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria. The alignments were performed by dividing the amino acids into six similarity groups: group 1 V, L, I, M, group 2 W, F, Y, group 3 E, D, group 4 K, R, group 5 Q, D, and group 6 S, T. The capital letters represent single amino acid codes. White fonts on black boxes represent 100% similarity, white fonts on grey boxes denote <80% similarity, and black fonts on grey boxes show <60% similarity. Abbreviations: Dps SSB Desulfotalea psychrophila (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_011189820.1), Fps SSB Flavobacterium psychrophilum (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_011963776.1), Par SSB Psychrobacter arcticus (NCBI Reference Sequence: AAZ19531.1), Pcr SSB Psychrobacter cryohalolentis (NCBI Reference Sequence: ABE75735.1), Pin SSB Psychromonas ingrahamii (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_011771629.1), Ppr SSB Photobacterium profundum (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_011219846.1), Pto SSB Psychroflexus torquis (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_015023871.1), Swo SSB Shewanella woodyi (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_012323283.1), Eco SSB Escherichia coli K12 (NCBI Reference Sequence: YP_492202.1), Bsu SSB Bacillus subtilis (NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_391970.1), Tte SSB3 Thermoanerobacter tengcongensis MB4 (NCBI Reference Sequence: AAM25884.1), and Tma SSB Thermotoga maritima MSB8 (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_004081225.1). An arrow indicates the boundary between the N-and C-terminal domains.
