Alignment of Arm and HEAT motifs. HEAT motifs from the various β-Kaps and Arm repeat-containing segments from Yeast α2-Kap and Drosophila Armadillo (β-catenin) were aligned to the universal HEAT consensus (11). p and h indicate polar and hydrophobic residues, and HHH indicates α-helical secondary structure prediction. The arrow indicates the Arm repeat junction identified in Fig. 1 (12). Numbers at the beginning and end of each amino acid stretch represent the number of amino acids to the end of the ORF. Numbers in parentheses represent the number of amino acids between the consecutive HEAT repeats.
