Figure 5. Gene structure and phylogenetic analysis of asceapen1 (asc1).

Figure 5

(A) The maize leaf D4-cyclin (asc1) gene is comprised of six exons (blue) and encodes a predicted ORF of 1068 base pairs. The locations of the insertion sites of Mu transposons (triangles) in asc1 mutant alleles are indicated. (B) Predicted 355 amino acid sequence of ASCEAPIN1. Sequences in bold denotes the conserved RETINOBLASTOMA-interacting domain. The underlined motif denotes the predicted CYCLIN BOX, and the sequences in bold italics correspond to the predicted CYCLIN recognition site. (C) Neighbor Joining phylogenetic analysis of selected D-CYCLIN proteins from maize, Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum, using a D-CYCLIN from the moss Physcomitrella patens as outgroup. Bootstrap values were obtained using 1000 replicates.
