Figure 2.

Deduced amino-acids sequences of the BdDof DNA-binding domains and phylogenetic analysis. The phylogenetic tree has been constructed from a complete alignment of the 52 amino acid residues spanning the classical DOF-binding domain of the predicted 27 DOF proteins in B. distachyon. Bootstraping values are indicated as percentages (when > 50%) along the branches. The resulting four gene clusters are indicated in different colours: A = green, B = red, C = blue, D = orange. Strongly conserved residues are indicated below the alignment: asterisks indicate a perfectly conserved residue; dots indicate similar residues and double dots indicate that residue variation occurs within weaker conserved residue groups. The four cysteine residues (C) putatively responsible of the zinc-finger structure are indicated above.
