Figure 6From: Whole proteome identification of plant candidate G-protein coupled receptors in Arabidopsis, rice, and poplar: computational prediction and in-vivo protein couplingMolecular evolutionary analyses of candidate GPCRs shown to physically interact with GPA1. The Arabidopsis, Oryza, and Populus proteomes were subjected to BLAST analyses (e-20 cutoff) using our positive interacting candidate GPCR protein sequences (filled triangles). Multiple sequence alignments were created in ClustalX and evolutionary relationships were estimated using the neighbor joining method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Sequences identified by our bioinformatic pipeline as candidate GPCRs are indicated with empty triangles, with upward pointing triangles indicating those found within our high ranking candidate sets and downward pointing triangles indicating those present in the second tier. Scale bars indicate evolutionary distance as measured by residue substitutions per site.
