The eIF4F and eIFiso4F Complexes of Plants: An Evolutionary Perspective

Figure 7

The 4E-binding site of plant eIFiso4G. Residues highlighted in green have identity to the consensus sequence ERVRYTR(D/E)QLLZLRE, and residues highlighted blue have similarity. Genes of nonflowering plants and green algae are shaded grey. Plants generally have one copy of eIFiso4G that closely resembles the consensus sequence; this primary copy is highlighted in yellow. Secondary copies, which are unhighlighted, may diverge from this sequence.
