Figure 1.

Alignment of K-φ-K sequences. A ClustalW²³ generated alignment of 20 K₂ regions with the highest sequence identity to Vitis riparia K₂. Conserved regions are shown bound by a rectangle, where a white letter on a black background indicates a residue that is conserved in all sequences, and a black letter indicates residues that are partially conserved and/or chemically similar. The sequence numbering for Vitis riparia K₂ and the segment names are shown at the top of the alignment. The organism name and protein NCBI accession number are indicated on the left. The figure was generated using ESPript.²⁴
