Although these predicted HhH modules are very divergent in sequence from the typical versions, the hairpin in both HhH modules of the RAD52 family proteins is bounded by small residues, typically glycine; this conforms to the signature motif characteristic of the classical HhH modules [ 28 29 ] . However, in the case of the RAD52 superfamily the predicted HhH modules appear to have been welded into a large globular superstructure that maintained its evolutionary distinctness over time.
The TPR motif is a degenerate, 34-amino acid repeat that is often found in tandem arrays, sometimes separated by spacer sequences [ 9 ] . We propose such a 22-residue spacer between the first two TPRs of PfPP5 (Fig.
The presence of this hereby named TMC signature sequence motif CWETXVGQEly(K/R)LtvXD is our defining criterion for this novel TMC protein family (Figures 1, 2, additional file 2).
