Structure and sequence alignment of TaVRT-1 with other MADS-box
members of the API/SQUA family. Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
HvBM5 (Schmitz et al.,
2000), Lolium temulentum LtMADS1
(Gocal et al., 2001), indica
rice OsMADS14 (Monn et al.,
1999), japonica rice OsRAP1B
(Kyozuka et al., 2000), maize
(Zea mays) ZmMADS from EST BE511439, petunia (Petunia
hybrida) PhTBP26 (Immink et
al., 1999), Arabidopsis AtFUL/AGL8
(Mandel and Yanofsky, 1995),
Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) AmDEFH28
(Müller et al., 2001),
and Arabidopsis AtAP1 (Mandel et
al., 1992). Identical and similar amino acids are shaded in black
and gray, respectively. MADS-box domain, DNA-binding domain; I, intervening
region; K, keratin-like domain; C, C-terminal region. *, Residues identified
as being part of a nuclear targeting signal by PSORT
(Nakai and Kanehisa, 1992;
