I don't know of any resources to draw exactly the figure you want, but many resources out there could help you draw one respective part of the figure (your choice of many many aligners and numerous motif prediction programs) and then you would have to assemble the parts together.

Something like this would be easy to put together in a Illustration program (and I would argue that no one should use Powerpoint for publication figures, but I've seen many people do it). I use Adobe Illustrator, because it's superior to many other drawing programs, but I understand that it's not cheap. Inkscape is an excellent open source version that largely does everything that Illustrator does.
