Alignments of Ycf4 protein sequences from four Lathyrus species, four diverse land plants, and the cyanobacterium Synechocystis. Cons #1 shows residues that are absolutely conserved among the four Lathyrus species. Cons #2 shows residues that are absolutely conserved among Nicotiana tabacum, Oryza sativa, Pinus thunbergii, Marchantia polymorpha, and Synechocystis species PCC 6803. The alignment was made using MUSCLE as implemented in SeaView (Gouy et al. 2010) with default coloring of conservative amino acid substitution groups.
