A comparison of identifiable ALBA proteins in P. falciparum. a A representative 3D model of an Alba domain is constructed using PF3D7_1346300 as a query and 2h9u as a template, and phylogenetic reconstruction of PfAlbas showing Alba1, 2 and Alba3, 4 are monophyletic groups. b A multiple sequence alignment of the Alba domain sequences from PfAlba1-6. Illustrated are the predicted secondary structural elements (arrow = alpha helix, block = beta strand) and conserved residues highlighted at 70 % consensus putatively interact with nucleic acids. Key for color-coded and highlighted amino acids letters are: negative DE; aliphatic ILV; positive MKR; tiny AGS; aromatic FHWY; charged DEHKR; small ACOGNPSTV; polar CDEHKNQRST; big EFIKLMQRWY; hydrophobic ACFGHIKLMRTVWY. The same color code is applied to rest of the alignments used in this manuscript. c A matrix of the percent identities for pairwise comparisons of PfAlbas 1–6 is provided
