Figure 6From: Analyses of the oligopeptide transporter gene family in poplar and grapeSite specific profiles for evolutionary rate changes in Groups 7 and 9. Eleven critical amino acid residues likely responsible for the functional divergence of these two groups were predicted and are shown in the filled red circles on the membrane topology model of VvOPT6, which was based on site-specific profiles combined with a suitable cut-off values (0.7) derived from the posterior probability of Group 7 and Group 9 comparison. Predicted membrane-spanning structure of VvOPT6 was generated by the computer topology prediction program SOSUI [77].Back to article page
