Figure 2. Conserved RdRP domains and amino acid sequences of C. parasitica rdr genes.

Figure 2

A). The RdRP domains were identified by searching NCBI’s Conserved Domains database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/cdd/wrpsb.cgi) and are indicated by grey boxes; solid lines represent full-length proteins. E-values of each RdRP domain match and the range of amino acids included in the match are indicated next to and below the domain name, respectively. The longest predicted RDR4 protein is indicated here and contains an RdRP domain that is truncated due to a premature stop codon in its gene transcript and that lacks a conserved DPBB domain. B). The three C. parasitica RDRs containing complete RdRP domains were included in an alignment with QDE-1 from N. crassa, an RdRP involved in RNA silencing (Quelling); highly conserved DPBB domains and residues in QDE-1 [47] are indicated by boxes and are highlighted in red, respectively.
