Sequence comparison of Heterosigma akashiwo RpoD with putative homologues in chromophytic and rhodophytic algae, and a cyanobacterium. Putative homologues of RpoD from Heterosigma akashiwo (accession number EF115377), Thalassiosira pseudonana [43], Cyanidium caldarium (BAA11832), Cyanidioschyzon merolae [102], and Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 (BAA01749) are compared. Conserved domains (1.2, 2, 3, and 4) are boxed and sub-domains (2.1–2.4, 4.1, and 4.2) are identified as bars above their respective boxes.
