Fig. 3

Architecture of conserved protein motifs in the ten isoforms of the plant β-amylase gene family. The sequence logos of the amino acid motifs important for BAM catalytic activity within the flexible loop, inner loop and surrounding Glu-186 and Glu-380 are shown. The flexible loop covers amino acids 340–346, while the inner loop amino acids 96–103. The clades to which each BAM isoform belongs to are indicated in parenthesis. The bit score indicates the information content for each position in the sequence. The height of the letter designating the amino acid residue at each position represents the degree of conservation. Sequence logos were created using WebLogo (Crooks et al., 2004)
