Multiple sequence alignment of O. sativa FKBPs. Human FKBP12 (hFKBP12, GeneBank accession no. A35780) was used for determined for hFKBP12 were marked by asterisks (*). Secondary structure features (a-helix and b-sheets) derived from the hFKBP12 were displayed. The targeting signal of putative chloroplast (thylakoid lumen) localized OsFKBPs was manually adjusted (boxed): double Arg residues (--); the hydrophobic stretches following the double Args (---). Amino acids of full length protein for single FKBP domain OsFKBPs, and only the most conserved amino acids area for multiple FKBP domain OsFKBPs, were aligned. Backgrounds indicate percentage of amino acid similarity: black, 95%; dark grey, 70%; light grey, 40%.
