Figure 9From: Evolutionary connection between the catalytic subunits of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases and eukaryotic RNA-dependent RNA polymerases and the origin of RNA polymerasesStructures of other conserved modules of DDRPs. (A) The core BBMC module of the BBM1 and BBM2 domains (B) Different versions of the α-subunit-core related (ASCR) domain ASCR domains from the bacterial DDRP α subunit, RBP11 (the eukaryotic ortholog of α), the β' subunit of the archaeo-eukaryotic DDRPs, topoisomerase II/gyrase globular domain 3, and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 (Sui1) are shown. Inserts or regions of poor X-ray diffraction are shown with dotted lines. The ASCR domains from the archaeo-eukaryotic β' subunits are most similar to those from the α-subunits.Back to article page
