Figure 2.

Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence for maize E1α cDNA. Amino acids are denoted by the single-letter abbreviations. The stop codon is indicated by a period. Underlined region indicates the putative TPP-binding domain. The targeting peptide-processing site, indicated by the triangle, is putative and based on characteristics of cleavage sites (von Heijne et al., 1989). The putative intron splice site is shaded and the polyadenylation signal is underlined. Oligonucleotides used as primers for RT-PCR in Figure 6B are overlined. Numbers to the right indicate base pairs or amino acid number. Asterisks and • denote residues referred to in the text.
