Figure 3. Amino acid sequence alignment of Sterol C-5 desaturase in different organisms.

Figure 3

Arabidopsis thaliana (AtERG3) NCBI Accession Number CAA62079; Zea mays (ZmERG3) ACG38774; Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrERG3) XP_001701457; Homo sapiens (HsERG3) BAA33729; Rattus norvegicus (RnERG3) NP_446094; Sacchromyces cerevisiae (ScERG3) NP_013157. Conserved amino acid sequences shared by all organisms are denoted by a star. The highlighted area corresponds to the putative histidine-containing metal binding domain. Dashed lines indicate gaps in the alignment. The bold, italicized font corresponds to the three putative transmembrane spanning regions of the C. reinhardtii ERG3 protein.
