Figure 4.
The YL protein contains an RNA recognition motif. (A) Amino acid sequence of YL. Position of the yl (asterisk) mutation is exhibited. The RNA recognition motif is underlined. (B) Partial alignment of the amino acid sequences of YL and its homologous proteins. The aligned sequences are from Glycine max (YL, Glyma.20G187000), Arabidopsis thaliana (AtORRM1, At3G20930), Zea mays (ZmORRM1, GRMZM5G899787), Oryza sativa (Os02g49820), Medicago truncatula (Medtr1g092860) and Phaseolus vulgaris (Phvul.007G103400). The red rectangle represents the conserved alanine residue in the RNA recognition motif.
