Conserved Sequence Blocks I to III of the TRAB1 Family Proteins.
The structure of TRAB1 is shown in the scheme at top, where regions I to III and the bZIP are indicated with black and hatched boxes, respectively. Amino acids identical, similar, and dissimilar to those of TRAB1 and gaps are indicated by dashes, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and underlined letters, respectively. The repeated sequence motifs Thr-hy-ac-ac and QGSLT (see text) are indicated by solid and dotted underlines, respectively. The Ser residue in the protein kinase C phosphorylation signature is indicated by a dot. The arrow points to the Met residue formerly predicted to be the N terminus from the sequence of the TRAB1 cDNA clone. The amino acids of TRAB1 are numbered based on the putative full-length sequence, which includes the N-terminal 56 amino acids predicted from the genome sequence obtained from the Syngenta draft sequence database (see text).
