Identification of Immune Related LRR-Containing Genes in Maize (Zea mays L.) by Genome-Wide Sequence Analysis

Figure 2

Schematic diagram of the protein features of the identified LRR-RLKs. This diagram was constructed using the predicted amino acid (aa) sequences from retrieved proteins and SMART online program. The size of each protein is presented with a grey line. The predicted domains are highlighted in each protein. The signal peptides are shown as red boxes, while the low complexity regions and transmembrane regions are shown as pink boxes and blue boxes, respectively. LRRNT_2: leucine rich repeats domains that consist of 2–45 motifs of 20–30 amino acids in length that generally fold into a horseshoe shape. LRR: leucine rich repeat domain; S_TKc: serine/threonine protein kinases, catalytic domain; STYKc: dual-specificity serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase domain.
