The DNA binding domain of bacterial TAL effectors contains tandem repeats (about 17; shown in blue, pink, yellow, and green for AvrBs3) of amino acids (34 or 35). The repeat is highly conserved, except for residues at positions 12 and 13 (shown within each repeat; H, histidine; D, aspartic acid; N, asparagine; G, glycine; I, isoleucine; S, serine). The code relates diamino acids in the repeat unit to nucleotides (T, thymine; A, adenine; C, cytosine) in the DNA target.
