Comparison of ZmABI4 with AtABI4 and Other AP2 Proteins.

(A) Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of AtABI4 (At) and ZmABI4 (Zm). Single-letter amino acid residues were aligned, and the consensus sequence is presented underneath. The conserved AP2 domain is boxed.

(B) Comparison of the ZmABI4 protein sequence with other AP2 domain–containing protein sequences in maize and Arabidopsis. A scheme of the predicted ZmABI4 protein, divided into the N-terminal, AP2, and C-terminal regions, is aligned with AtABI4, OsABI4 (contigs 4094 and 1079; draft rice sequence), AtDREB2, ZmGlossy15, and ZmIds1. The percentage identity with ZmABI4 is listed above the scheme for each sequence.
