FIG. 6.

Multiple sequence alignment of MLDP with other green algal orthologs and hydropathy plots of MLDP and other known lipid droplet binding proteins. (A) MLDP and putative orthologs identified in the Chlorella sp. NC64A (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/ChlNC64A_1/ChlNC64A_1.home.html), Chlorella vulgaris C-169 (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Chlvu1/Chlvu1.home.html), and Volvox carteri (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Volca1/Volca1.home.html) genomes. Conserved residues are indicated with asterisks, and the coloring indicates the CORE index, where red and blue indicate the highest and lowest probability of the alignment being correct at a given residue, respectively, with colors in between the spectrum of red and blue representing a range of intermediate probabilities. Hydropathy plots for the proteins (followed by NCBI accession numbers in parentheses) MLDP (XP_001697668) (B), mouse ADRP (NP_031434) (C), mouse perilipin (NP_783571) (D), and Arabidopsis OLE1 (NP_194244) (E).
