Sequence Analysis of the APO Gene Family in Arabidopsis and Rice.

(A) Scheme of the primary APO1 structure with the conserved and repeated APO motifs 1 and 2. Conserved amino acid residues in group 1 and differences between motifs 1 and 2 present in this group are highlighted.

(B) Sequence alignment of motifs 1 and 2 in APO1 to APO4 in Arabidopsis (At) and rice (Os). Amino acid residues that are conserved in all members are on gray background. Amino acid residues that are specific for each defined group in Arabidopsis and rice and different in the others are underlined. Conserved differences between the motifs 1 and 2 in all four groups are listed below the alignment.
