Comparison of the products of four rice
XET-related genes. A, Alignment of the deduced amino
acid sequences of OsXTR1, OsXTR2, OsXTR3, and OsXTR4. Boxes indicate
identical residues. Bar a, Catalytic active site shared with B.
licheniformis β-glucanase. Bar b, Proposed
N-linked glycosylation sites. Shaded boxes show the
conserved Cys residues. B, Percent amino acid identity between the
XTR gene products.
