Origins and Evolution of WUSCHEL-Related Homeobox Protein Family in Plant Kingdom

Figure 2

Alignment of the WOX homeodomain sequences. Canonical conserved residues analyzed by WebLogo (Web-based sequence logo generating application; Weblogo.berkeley.edu). The homeodomain of WOX family contained the helix-loop-helix-turn-helix structure [12]. The highly conserved residues are revealed by the alignment of homeodomains, the three highest conserved residues were marked using asterisk, and the residues within the two boxed motifs within the homeodomain marked using azure have close positional correlation which is revealed in Figure 3.
