Amino acid sequence identities (in percentile) among reported sequences of
orthologs of PvRACK1 and other organisms, including that of
the reported Gβ -like subunit of a
heterotrimeric protein from Glycine max (GLYMA) which
yields the highest identity score with PvRACK1. The other
sequences obtained from the GenBank were those of Arabidopsis
thaliana (ARATH), Brassica napus (BRANA),
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CHLRE), Medicago
sativa (MEDSA), Nicotiana plumbaginifolia
(NICPL), N. tabacum (NICTA), Ostreococcus
lucimarinus (OSTLU), O. tauri (OSTTA),
Oryza sativa (ORYSA), Solanum
lycopersicum (SOLLY), and S. tuberosum
(SOLTU). Not included in the table are 66% identities of
PvRACK1 to both Homo sapiens and
Mus musculus RACK1. The protein alignment analysis was
performed utilizing the MUSCLE and BIOEDIT software package.
