Fig. 5.

Gene cluster found in Helarchaeota that encode for a possible energy-transferring complex. a In Hel_GB_A the complex was found on the reverse strand but has been oriented in the forward direction for clarity (asterisk). Arrows indicate the length of the reading frame. Gene names were predicted by various databases (Supplementary Methods). Small numbers located above the arrows refer to the nucleotide position for the full contig. Bold numbers on Hel_GB_B refer to the amino acid number of the whole complex. b Figure depicts the membrane motifs identified on NODE_147_length_7209_cov_4.62199_5, 6, and 7 using various programs (Supplementary Methods). Each circle represents a single amino acid. Bold circles represent amino acids at the start of the protein, the start and end of the transmembrane sites, and the end of the complex. Numbering corresponds to the amino acid numbers of Hel_GB_B in panel a. A full loop represents 50 amino acids and does not reflect the secondary structure of the complex
