Comparison of the amino acid sequences of RNase and RNase-related proteins in plants. (a) All of the amino acid sequences predicted from the rice full-length cDNA database. (b) Partial amino acid sequences from C. sepium (CalsepRRP), A. thaliana (RNS1, RNS2, and RNS3), M. charantia (RNase MC), and L. esculentum (RNase LE). Gaps were introduced to maximize the homologies. Identical or similar residues are boxed in black and grey, respectively. The three charged residues involved in the active site of RNase are indicated by asterisks, and the two aromatic residues, which presumably maintain the conformational stability of the site, are indicated by a black circle. The sequences of the eight conserved cysteine residues in rice are indicated by C1–C8.
