Comparison of deduced LTP and A9 anther-expressed proteins. Deduced sequences of nsLTPs (PrLTP1, PrLTP2, E2, OsLTP, and bLTP) and A9 homologs (PrMC1, PrMC2, Men-8, Lhm7, and A9) were aligned using the GCG program PileUp. The eight conserved Cys residues are shown beneath the alignment. The four helical domains of the barley LTP are labeled A, B, C, and D as indicated. The cleavage site for removal of the secretory sequence predicted by the GCG program SPSCAN is indicated by asterisk. The eight conserved Cys residues are shaded. Accession numbers are Men-8, y08780; LHm7, x80719; A9, q05772; barley LTP, p07597; OsLTP, u29176; and E2, x60318.
