Figure 1. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of BnAP2.
Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of Brassica napus AP2-like transcriptional factor gene (BnAP2) with other AP2-like genes through CLUSTAL X (1.8) multiple sequence alignment software. Comparison of the overall amino acid sequences, the AP2 domains (shaded), linkers, and putative nuclear localization signals (in boldface) of BnAP2 (GenBank accession number ADU04499.1), Arabidopsis thaliana APETALA 2 (AtAP2) (AEE86718.1), B. rapa AP2-like transcriptional factor (BrAP2) (AAX47049.1), Vitis vinifera transcription factor APETALA2 (VitisAP2) (ACO52508.1), Malus x domestica transcription factor AHAP2 (Malus AP2) (AAL57045.2), Petunia x hybrida PHAP2A protein (Petunia AP2) (AF132001), and Antirrhinum majus LIPLESS1 (AAO52747.1). Amino acids in the AP2 domains, which are conserved in all mentioned sequences, are in white on a shaded background. The different amino acids in the AP2 domains of BnAP2 and BrAP2 are white on black. Gaps are indicated by dashes.
