The VFB Proteins Are LRR-Containing F-Box Proteins of the C Subfamily of the Arabidopsis F-Box Protein Superfamily.

(A) Pretty box representation of a Clustal alignment of the VFB proteins VFB1 (AT1G47056), VFB2 (AT3G50080), VFB3 (AT4G07400), and VFB4 (AT5G67250). The F-box domain is boxed, and the individual LRRs are flanked by brackets and were identified as described by Gagne et al. (2004).

(B) Schematic view of the VFB F-box proteins in comparison with the auxin receptor TIR1/AFB F-box proteins and the ethylene response EBF F-box proteins. F, F-box domain.

(C) Unrooted phylogenetic tree of the Arabidopsis VFB proteins, two apparent homologs from rice annotated as ACRE189 and JNBb0002J11.1, one apparent homolog from tobacco annotated as ACRE189, and several related and previously characterized F-box proteins from Arabidopsis. At, Arabidopsis; O.s., O. sativa; N.t., N. tabacum. Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes. Please refer to the text for other abbreviations. Accession numbers are listed in Methods.
