BOXSHADE Alignments of Newly Identified PEP Coding Regions.

(A) Multiple sequence alignment of the translated rpoA sequence of C. reinhardtii with the five most similar peptide sequences, as determined by tBLASTX analysis.

(B) A section of the multiple sequence alignment of the translated rpoC1 sequence from C. reinhardtii with those of other related species. This excerpt highlights the zinc binding domain (conserved Cys residues are denoted by asterisks), which is found in most prokaryote-like rpoC1 proteins and implicated in transcription termination.
