Cloning and Characterization of the -Carotene Desaturase Gene from Chlorella protothecoides CS-41
Figure 4
Sequence alignment of deduced PDS and ZDS with those from other organisms. Species designations are A. thaliana (Ath), Z. mays (Zma), C. reinhardtii (Cre), C. protothecoides (Cpr), and D. salina (Dsa). Amino acids in black boxes indicate identical residues, while gray boxes indicate conserved residues. The blank frame shows the consensus motif of dinucleotide-binding domain. The red frame indicates the postulated carotenoid-binding domain.
