Endophytic Life Strategies Decoded by Genome and Transcriptome Analyses of the Mutualistic Root Symbiont Piriformospora indica
Figure 14
Conserved residues positions and schematic representation of the P. indica DELD protein structure.
Regions with regularly distributed histidine (blue) and alanine (black) residues are visible in the consensus alignment (upper panel). The DELD proteins are predicted to produce two helices that are interrupted by a less conserved central region but with a conserved glycine (at position 65 in the consensus alignment). The sequence logo was created using WebLogo (version 2.8.2; [84]) based on a multiple sequence alignment of 29 DELD proteins without the predicted signal peptides using MUSCLE [112]. Secondary protein structure prediction was performed using Phyre (Protein Homology/analogY Recognition Engine) (http://www.sbg.bio.ic.ac.uk/~phyre/ version 2.0; [113]) and is exemplary shown for PIIN_05872.
