Evolution of sequence, structural and functional diversity of the ubiquitous DNA/RNA-binding Alba domain by Jaiganesh Jagadeesh, Shruthi Sridhar Vembar

“…Sequence similarity network (SSN) analysis clustered them into 13 distinct subgroups, including the archaeal Alba and eukaryotic Rpp20/Pop7 and Rpp25/Pop6 groups, as well as novel fungal and Plasmodium-specific Albas. Sequence and structural conservation analysis of the subgroups indicated high preservation of the dimer interface, with Alba domains from unicellular eukaryotes notably exhibiting structural deviations towards their C-terminal end. …”
