Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of CrDHS1 with known plant nuclear coded chloroplast-specific DHS proteins. Sequences were aligned using ClustalW program located at ExPasy site http://www.expasy.ch. Sequence descriptions and Genbank accession numbers are: StSHKB, S. tuberosum deoxy arabino heptulosonate phosphate synthase (M95201); LeDHS, L. esculentum deoxy arabino heptulosonate phosphate synthase (Z21792); AtDHS, A. thaliana deoxy arabino heptulosonate phosphate synthase (M74820); StDHS, S. tuberosum deoxy arabino heptulosonate phosphate synthase (AB061254), and CrDHS1, C. roseus deoxy arabino heptulosonate phosphate synthase. Numbers of amino acids are indicated on the right. Dashes indicate gaps introduced in order to optimize the alignment. Asterisks (*) indicate conserved residues in all DHS sequences. Single or double dots represent similar amino acids.
