Multiple sequence alignment of the N-terminal region of plant C22DES. The sequence alignment of the N-terminal region of C22DES from the 27 plant species listed in Additional file 2: Table S1 is shown. Amino acid residues are numbered on the right. Asterisks denote residues conserved in all sequences. Colons indicate conservation between amino acid groups of strongly similar properties whereas periods indicate conservation between amino acid groups of weakly similar properties. Hyphens indicate gaps introduced to optimize the alignment. The tomato TMH sequence is highlighted in blue; prolines (P) are shown in red, and serine (S) and threonine (T) residues are shown in magenta. The CRAC1 motif (including the conserved Q27 and Y30 residues) and the MCR1 sequence are also shown. The branched-chain amino-acids [leucine (L), valine (V) and isoleucine (I)] in CRAC1 are shown in green, tyrosine (Y) in cyan and the dibasic residues [arginine (R) and lysine (K)] in yellow.
