Fig. 6

Alignment of RAG2L sequences from protostomes and deuterostomes. RAG2L sequences are aligned and displayed as in Fig. 5. Domains, beta sheet regions of each kelch-type blade, the GG motif, secondary structure (helixes - wavy lines; beta sheet - arrows, other - straight line), protein-protein interactions (5 Å threshold) displayed above the alignment derive from the BbeRAG2L cryo-EM structure (PDB: 6B40). Sequences displayed are: BbeRAG2L_B (GenBank: KJ748699.1), PflRAG2L_B (TSA:GDGM01438088.1), SpuRAG2L_B_Ech1 (Uniprot: Q45ZT5) and CviRAG2L_B_Biv1_0007, PimRAG2L_B_Biv2_5135, and NgeRAG1L_D_2322 from this study (Additional file 7: Alignment S1b). These RAG2L proteins are the transposon pairs of the RAG1L sequences displayed in Fig. 5 except that PimRAG2L_B_Biv2_5135 was used instead of PimRAG2L_B_Biv2_3145 due to merge uncertainties in the 3145 sequence; these two sequences are 98% identical on their counterpart RAG1L core. Species abbreviations as in Fig. 5
