Conservation of the C-type lectin fold for accommodating massive sequence variation in archaeal diversity-generating retroelements

BACKGROUND: Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) provide organisms with a unique means for adaptation to a dynamic environment through massive protein sequence variation. The potential scope of this variation exceeds that of the vertebrate adaptive immune system. DGRs were known to exist only i...
