Phylogenetic relationships, architecture of conserved protein domains and motifs, and gene structure in MYC genes of D. catenatum, P. equestris, A. shenzhenica, A. thaliana, and O. sativa. A The phylogenetic tree of MYC proteins. Different color boxes represent five different clades. B The conserved domain and motif composition of MYC proteins. The Solid triangle with orange and light blue represented bHLH domain and bHLH-MYC_N domain, respectively. The Solid boxes with different colors represented different motif and the legend was given at the right of figure. C Exon–intron structure of MYC genes. Green boxes represent exons and black lines represent introns. D Sequence alignment of JID, TAD, basic, and HLH domain of DcMYC2a, DcMYC2b, DcMYC2c, DcMYC2d, AtMYC2, AtMYC3, AtMYC4, and AtMYC5 proteins. Sequence alignment was performed using ClustalX. Red triangles represented amino acid residues involved in the AtMYC3-JAZ interaction. Blue triangles represented residues that are related to specific DNA recognition in MYC2. Orange triangles and black triangles represented residues that are required for MYC2 dimer formation and tetramer formation, respectively
