Figure 1From: Structural characterization of helitrons and their stepwise capturing of gene fragments in the maize genomeGene structure, the Rep protein motif and DNA helicase domain of putative autonomous ZmhelA and ZmhelB. A. A schematic diagram of putative autonomous ZmhelA and ZmhelB showing the Rep, helicases and RPA domain. B and C. Multiple sequence alignments of the Rep motif and DNA helicase domain. Sequences from other species were aligned with ZmhelA1, ZmhelB1 and ZmhelB2.
