Conservation and class-specificity in the cellulose synthase family. An example calculation of conservation (Cons) and class specificity using the sum-of-pairs (SP) and max-sum-of-pairs (SP_max). SP and SP_Max are determined from the BLOSUM62 matrix (A). The conservation and class specificity averaged for all CesA genes with a sliding window of 10 amino acids is plotted. The x-axis represents the position in the global alignment. The cartoon above the graph plots the major CesA features against alignment positions. Transmembrane domains are represented as green boxes, the zinc finger as the blue oval, and both hypervariable regions are listed (HVR) (B). The class specificity for each CesA family is plotted for the primary CesAs (C) and secondary CesAs (D).
