Fig. 1From: Characterization, expression patterns and functional analysis of the MAPK and MAPKK genes in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)Sequence alignments and structural features of ClMPKs and ClMKKs. Multiple sequence alignment was performed using the ClustalX method and identical amino acids are shaded in black. The subdomains (I-XI) are indicated on the top of the aligned row. a Partial amino acid alignment of the 15 ClMPK proteins. The P-Loop, C-loop and activation-loop motifs are indicated with red boxes and the TxY motif is indicated by red stars. b Partial amino acid alignment of the 5 ClMKK proteins. The conserved S/T-x5-S/T motif and active site D(I/L/V)K motif are indicated by red stars and inverted red triangles, respectively. The docking site is indicated on the aligned rowBack to article page
