Figure 4.

Multiple alignment of the amino-acid sequences of the C-terminal region in phototropins Residues conserved in all sequences are marked with an asterisk and highly or moderately similar residues are marked with dots or a dot, respectively. The short amino-acid stretches that were suggested to be important for phototropin’s membrane association in Arabidopsis are enclosed in red boxes. Within the stretches region, conserved or similar amino acid residues are highlighted with blue or green background, respectively. Pp (Physcomitrella patens); Mp (Marchantia polymorpha); At (Arabidopsis thaliana).
