LKR/SDH amino acid sequences. The derived amino acid sequence of a wheat LKR/SDH protein is shown and compared to sequences derived from DNA sequences of other plants. Amino acid positions with no more than one difference among all plants are shaded yellow. Amino acids unique to monocots are shaded blue. Red lines indicate exon boundaries. Arrowheads indicate predicted start positions of monofunctional SDH transcripts for wheat (above sequences) and Arabidopsis (below sequences). An asterisk marks the approximately position ending the monofunctional LKR transcript. Exon numbers above the sequences indicate monocot exon numbers - dicot numbering is one less since exons 1 and 2 are fused in dicots. The poplar sequence is derived from poplar gene 1 as described below.
