Figure 1.

Amino acid sequence alignment of the predicted Rps10 proteins from several plant species. The mitochondrially encoded soybean [Gm rps10(m)] is shown on top with six nuclear encoded Rps10 proteins aligned below; n indicates a nuclear coding location and m indicates a mitochondrial coding location. Residues identical to soybean are white on a black background, and conservative changes are indicated with a gray box. Gaps introduced to align proteins are indicated by dots. The numbers refer to the number of amino acids. At = Arabidopsis, Dc = carrot, La = lettuce, Ox = Oxalis, So = spinach, and Zm = maize.
