Alignment of cytosolic GR (cGR) amino acid sequences from Vigna unguiculata (Vu) and Pisum sativum (Ps, Genebank accession no. X98274) and of dual-targeted GR (dtGR) from Vigna unguiculata and Glycine max (Gm, no. L11632) amino acid sequences. The alignment was obtained using the program Clustalw (Thompson et al., 1994). ^*, identity; ‡, strongly similar; †, weakly similar; ↓, cleavage site for dual-targeted isoform (the targeting signal peptide is in italics); a, conserved arginine residues for NADPH binding; b, glutathione binding residue; the redox-active disulfite bridge is underlined (from Stevens et al., 1997).
