Table 1 Overview of the different types of EULs and their occurrence in plants.

From: Proteins with an Euonymus lectin-like domain are ubiquitous in Embryophyta

Different types of EUL

Plant species

Type S: Proteins with a single EUL domain

Type S0

Proteins consisting of an EUL domain only

Euonymus europaeus, Plantago major, Zea mays, Selaginella moellendorfii

Type S1

Proteins consisting of an EUL domain preceded by a short (<50 AA) unrelated N-terminal sequence

Physcomitrella patens, Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare, Selaginella moellendorfii

Type S2

Proteins consisting of an EUL domain preceded by a medium long (50-100 AA) unrelated N-terminal sequence.

Oryza sativa, Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays, Lactuca sp., Pinus taeda, Picea sitchensis

Type S3

Proteins consisting of an EUL domain preceded by a long (>100 AA) unrelated N-terminal sequence.

Arabidopsis thaliana, Medicago truncatula, Vitis vinifera, Populus trichocarpa, Oryza sativa, Sorghum bicolor, ...

Type S4

Proteins consisting of a medium long (50-100 AA) unrelated N-terminal sequence, an EUL domain, and a short (<50) C-terminal extension.

Selaginella moellendorfii

Type S5a/S5b

Proteins consisting of a short (<50) unrelated N-terminal sequence, an EUL domain, and a short (<50) or medium long (50-100 AA) C-terminal extension.

Marchantia polymorpha

Type Sv

Proteins consisting of an EUL domain preceded by a short unrelated N-terminal sequence containing a signal peptide (vacuolar form of the EUL).

Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, Triticum aestivum, Selaginella moellendorfii

Type D: Proteins with two in tandem arrayed EUL domains

Type D0

Proteins consisting of two in tandem arrayed EUL domains separated by a short (<40 AA residues) linker and without N-terminal extension.

Selaginella moellendorfii

Type D1

Proteins consisting of two in tandem arrayed EUL domains separated by a short (<40 AA residues) linker and preceded by a short (15-35 AA residues) N-terminal extension

Oryza sativa, Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, Triticum aestivum, Pinus taeda, Picea sitchensis, Physcomitrella patens

Type D2

Proteins consisting of two in tandem arrayed EUL domains separated by a long (>40 AA residues) linker and preceded by a short (10-35 AA residues) N-terminal extension

Oryza sativa, Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, Triticum aestivum, Pinus taeda, Picea sitchensis,

Type D3

Proteins consisting of two in tandem arrayed EUL domains separated by a short (<40 AA residues) linker and preceded by a long (>50 AA residues) N-terminal extension

Selaginella moellendorfii

Type D4

Proteins consisting of two in tandem arrayed EUL-related domains separated by a short (<40 AA residues) linker and without N-terminal extension. Note that the domains of these proteins share only low sequence similarity with the genuine EUL domains.
