Strategy for the construction of domain-deletion
mutants of cotton annexin. The four annexin repeat domains are
designated inside of the boxes. The numbers below the boxes indicate
the first and last numbers of amino acid residues of the cotton annexin
expressed by the constructs. The hatched boxes represent the 6xHis tags
at the C-terminal ends of recombinant proteins. The eight PCR primers
synthesized for mutant construction are designated 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F, 1R,
2R, 3R, and 4R above the arrows that show the sites and orientations of
these primers.
