Figure 1. Protein sequence multiple alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of PfHSP17.2 with other plant sHSPs. The two consensus regions in sHSPs are underlined, and identical amino acid residues are highlighted. A putative nuclear localization signal is indicated by arrows and a polyproline motif at the carboxyl end of proteins is marked with asterisks. Their GenBank accession numbers are as follows: Primula forrestii (PfHSP17.2; JX025006); Arachis hypogaea (AhHSP17.6; ACF74271.1); Ammopiptanthus mongolicus (AmHSP; AGS48404); Cicer arietinum (CaHSP17.1; XP_004501443.1); Prunus salicina (PsHSP; ACV93250.1); Nelumbo nucifera (NnHSP17.5; ABK92179.1); Brachypodium distachyon (BdHSP17.8; XP_003564488.1); Medicago truncatula (MtHSP; AES73434.1); Solanum peruvianum (SpHSP17.4; AAT36481.1); Cucumis sativus (CsHSP17.9; XP_004141334.1).
