Protein motifs. The schematic map of Ac53 (A), Ac78 (B), Ac101 (C), and Ac103 (D) shows conserved motifs found by the MEME tool for the 58 orthologs of each newly discovered core protein. Only the prototypes representing alphabaculoviruses of group I (AcMNPV), alphabaculoviruses of group II (LdMNPV), betabaculoviruses (CpGV), gammabaculoviruses (NeabNPV), and deltabaculoviruses (CuniNPV) are shown. The relative positions of motif 1, motif 2, and motif 3 are indicated by black, dark gray, and light gray rectangles, respectively. The length and conservation for each motif are represented by sequence logos. In Ac53, a metal binding motif is indicated. An amino acid scale indicating the location of each motif is depicted above the groups of orthologs.
