Fig. 1.
Multiple sequence alignment of functionally characterized invertase inhibitors and gene structures. (A) Protein sequence alignment was conducted using Clustal Omega (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/). Four cysteine residues (C) are labeled with bold asterisks, and the conserved motif is indicated by a box. Nt, Nicotiana tabacum; At, Arabidopsis thaliana; Bv, Beta vulgaris; Ib, Ipomoea batatas; Ci, Cichorium intybus; Sl, Solanum lycopersicum; Gm, Glycine max; St, Solanum tuberosum; Zm, Zea mays. (B) GmCIF1 and GmC/VIF2 showing a similar genomic structure.
