Figure 2. Rice MEL2 is the RRM protein partially homologous to human DAZAP1.

Figure 2

The single RRM of MEL2 is followed by a proline-rich sequence (yellow) like human DAZAP1, whereas DAZAP1 carries a doublet of RRMs. MEL2 possesses three additional motifs; The N-myristoylation target, the ankyrin repeats (red), and the RING finger motif (green). The peptide sequence of each motif is aligned and compared with known consensus sequence and/or sequences of other organisms, in which identical amino-acid residues are highlighted.
