Figure 1.

An alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of seven Arabidopsis annexin genes obtained using clustal on Macvector. Identical amino acids are indicated in dark gray, conserved amino acids in light gray. A potential nuclear localization domain in AnnAt3 is boxed. The potential heme-binding domain is underlined and an arrow marks the critical His residue in that domain. Various amino acid motifs discussed in the text are aligned above the annexin sequences, and the numbers found below the corresponding amino acid residue are based on the AnnAt1 protein sequence. GenBank accession nos. are as follows: AnnAt1 (AF083913), AnnAt2 (AF083914), AnnAt3 (AF1888362), AnnAt4 (AF188363), AnnAt5 (AY014797), AnnAt6 (AY014798), and AnnAt7 (AY014799).
