Figure 1.

Alignment of representative sequences of each nsLTP type. Diamonds (above) indicate regions of conserved amino acid residues, red for 8M motif cysteines, blue for glycine and purple for residues contributing to helix spacing. The Clustal X colour scheme highlights conserved amino acid residues besides their physicochemical characteristics. The black bar below refers to the conservation between all aligned sequences with their respective amino acids. The consensus sequence is presented at the bottom of the figure, where the “+” signs indicate high variable positions.
