Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the tomato lipoxygenase F. A: Deduced amino acid sequence of TomLOXF. The conserved motives are underlined, and the conserved amino acid residues involved in LOX iron binding, enzymatic activity, and regio-specificity are in bold. The characters in italics indicate the putative chloroplastic transit peptide identified with ChloroP1.1. Numbers on the righ indicate the position occupied in the protein sequence by the last amino acid of the line. B: Schematic representation of the PLAT_LH2 domain and of the LOX domain pfam00305 identified in TomLOXF by the NCBI Conserved Domain Search program.
