(a) Comparison of the CRF domains of SlCRF5 (top), McCRF1, and MmCRF1 (bottom) Clade III CRF proteins. This motif occurred in amino acid positions 26–47 in SlCRF5 and 27–48 in McCRF1 and MmCRF1. (b) Comparison of the putative MAPk site motif in SlCRF5 (top), McCRF1, and MmCRF1 (bottom) Clade III CRF proteins. This motif occurred in amino acid positions 180 – 186 in SlCRF5 and 188–195 in McCRF1 and MmCRF1. (c) Comparison of strongly conserved motif in putative trans-activation domain in SlCRF5 (top), McCRF1, and MmCRF1 Clade III CRF proteins. This motif occurred in amino acid positions 237–253 in SlCRF5 and 230–247 in McCRF1 and MmCRF1. (d) Comparison of 3ʹ motif of trans-activation domain in SlCRF5 (top), McCRF1, and MmCRF1 Clade III CRF proteins. This motif occurred in amino acid positions 283–287 in SlCRF5 and 263–267 in McCRF1 and MmCRF1.
