Predicted Cold Shock Proteins from the Extremophilic Bacterium Deinococcus maricopensis and Related Deinococcus Species

Figure 1

Multiple sequence alignment of Dm-Csp1 and related, representative Deinococci-encoded cold shock proteins. The species names are indicated. Areas of 100% conservation are highlighted in blue. The position of conserved RNA-binding motifs (RNP1 and RNP2) is enclosed within red rectangles. Conserved, basic, and aromatic residues within RNP1 and RNP2 that form a nucleic acid binding surface are indicated by arrowheads.
