Fig 1. Conservation of the W-motif and other motifs in LEA3 proteins.
A) W-motif. B) DAELR motif. C) EDVMP motif. D) N-terminal motifs (MARS, MAARS, MGRX and M[AS][RK]). E) RRGYA4 motif. Amino acids are color-coded by their group type. Blue—positively charged (Lys, Arg, His); red—negatively charged (Asp, Glu); black—hydrophobic (Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Pro, Phe, Met), yellow—polar (Gly, Ser, Thr, Tyr, Cys, Asn, Gln). The heights of the amino acids correspond to their level of conservation at that position.
