Alignment of Amino Acid Sequences of CYP710 Proteins.

The deduced amino acid sequences of CYP710A1 (At 710A1) and CYP710A11 from tomato (Se 710A11) proteins were aligned with CYP710A5 (Os 710A5) from O. sativa, CYP710B (Cr 710B) from C. reinhardtii, CYP61 (Sc 61) from S. cerevisiae, and CYP524 (Dicty 524) from D. discoideum. The double-headed arrow above the sequences indicates the conserved amino acids in the putative substrate recognition site (SRS4) of P450s (Gotoh, 1992). The conserved Ala-299 residue (numbered as in CYP710A1) is boxed in green. The arrowhead points to the heme ligand Cys residues. The conserved residues are boxed in red.
