Fig. 3. Multiple sequence alignment of predicted soybean KAS II enzymes. AF244518 represents a full-length soybean KAS II sequence obtained from GenBank. GmKAS IIA and IIB represent the conceptual translations of the respective GmKASII gene sequences from cultivar Century. Dots depict amino acid residues identical among all three sequences. Shaded residues highlight dissimilar amino acids. An asterisk is located above the tryptophan residue (W) in the normal soybean sequences where the predicted protein derived from the mutant GmKAS IIA gene product from C1727 terminates due to the introduction of a premature stop codon.
