Characterization and Expression Analysis of Common Bean Histone Deacetylase 6 during Development and Cold Stress Response

Figure 1

Multiple sequence alignment of putative HDA6 from common bean cultivar Sierra with homologs in model plants. The alignment was generated using CLUSTALW and BOXSHADE and the amino acid sequences of HDA6 in Phaseolus used for the alignment are amino acids from Sierra. Highly conserved regions or identical amino acid regions from the BOXSHADE results are highlighted in black with white letters; gray regions are conserved amino acid substitutions. Four motifs were identified within the protein sequences (Pandey et al. 2002) and the three amino acids with star are conserved in common bean HDA6 as in Arabidopsis HDA5 and they could be responsible for HDAC activity (Luo et al. 2015).
