The putative functions of the members of the chromatin remodelling families in plant systems: the callout boxes indicate the functions that have been detected mainly by genetic approaches in Arabidopsis as described by Hsieh and Fischer (2005). The table at the bottom indicates the classification of remodellers belonging to the SNF2 superfamily ATPase protein sequences from www.chromdb.org with chromdb i.d. for Arabidopsis, maize and rice on the basis of the domains annotated in the Conserved Domain Database (CDD) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/cdd/cdd.shtml. The sequences [42 from Arabidopsis, 47 from maize, 42 and 40 from rice (japonica and indica) and 14 from wheat], which were annotated as the SNF2 super family, were used for analysis.
