Clustal Omega alignment of APOBEC3 single-domain proteins (A3A and A3C) and CTD of two-domain proteins (A3F and A3G) with A3B CTD are shown. The structural motifs are shown according the structure of A3G CTD [21]. The conserved methionine at the junction of NTD and CTD is marked with a green arrow. All the conserved residues between the five proteins are shown in blue and marked by asterisks. The residues that line the hydrophobic pocket in which the conserved methionine resides are shown in red and are marked with a dot.
