Identification and Characterization of the Grape WRKY Family

Figure 5

Phylogenetic analysis of 80 members of the VvWRKY family. Amino acid sequences from the single WRKY domain of Groups II and III proteins or the C-terminal WRKY domain of Group I proteins were aligned. Conserved primary structure features of the VvWRKY family located outside the WRKY domains were identified using MEME software (http://www.sdsc.edu/MEME) and are shown below the tree. Schematic representations of typical proteins of each (sub) group are shown on the bottom; motifs of amino acid sequences were shown in Table 2; LZ indicates potential leucine zipper structures that were also predicted by the COILSCAN and COIL (Wisconsin Package Version 10.0) programs.
