The organization and structure of resistance genes and their products. The color coding of the protein motifs is the same as for Figure 1. The hypothetical structure shown for a portion of the LRR region is prepared from a model for the thyrotropin receptor (Kajava et al. 1995). In the consensus sequence for the β-strand, (x) any amino acid; (a) aliphatic residues.
