Analysis of deduced aminoacid sequences of GmCHSs. Multiple sequence alignment of amino acid sequences of GmCHSs and CHS2 from alfalfa (MsCHS2) were performed using ClustalΟ. Identical residues are shown in black and similar residues are in grey. A hyphen indicates a gap. Active site residues are highlighted in yellow, malony-CoA binding sites are highlighted in blue and product binding residues are shown in green. The characteristic CHS signature (WGVLFGFGPGLT) is indicated by a red box
