Figure 2

Comparison of deduced amino-acid sequence of aleh1 with those of other Asteraceous 1-FEH. AlEH1, deduced amino-acid sequence of aleh1 (AB611034); Chi_1-FEH2, Cichorium intybus 1-FEH IIa (AJ295033); Vh_1-FEH, Vernonia herbacea (AM231149) and Chi_1-FEH1, Cichorium intybus 1-FEH I (AJ242538) are aligned. Potential N-glycosylation sites in the sequence are underlined. DPNG, RDP and EC motifs are shaded in gray. The three carboxylic acids that are thought to be crucial for enzyme activity are indicated by black inverted triangle. Consensus line: asterisks (*) indicated identical residues; colons (:) indicated conserved substitutions; and periods (.) indicated semi-conserved substitutions. Putative N-terminal amino acid of AlEH1 is indicated with an arrow.
