Alignment of monocot and dicot leucine-rich repeats (LRR) homologues of the allele MxdRLP1. Only the regions where amino acid replacements were detected in the apple LRRs are shown in the alignment. Numbers of amino acids from the presumed translation start methionine are listed to the right of the sequence. Amino acid substitutions at indicated loci are shown color-coded to highlight conservation or variation. Rectangular boxes indicate the positions of consensus LRRs. A dashed rectangle indicates deviation from the LRR consensus sequence. AtLRR: Arabidopsis thaliana (GenBank:NP188718, locus tag AT5G20820) ribonuclease inhibitor-like (RIL) LRR subfamily; PoptreLRR: Populus tremula (GenBank:ACE97248) RIL LRR subfamily; PopdeltLRR: P. deltoides (GenBank:ABS18952) RIL LRR subfamily; PoptriLRR: P. trichocarpa (GenBank:ABK92966) LRR; Alfalfa: Medicago truncatula (GenBank:ACJ85058); VitisLRR: Vitis vinifera (GenBank:CAO21943) RIL LRR subfamily; CicerPGIP: Cicer arietinum (GenBank:CAD56505) polygalacturonase inhibitor-like protein (PILP); ZeaLRR: Zea mays (GenBank:ACF88180) RIL LRR subfamily; ZeaPGIP2: Z. mays (GenBank:NP001150670) PILP; RiceLRR: Oryza sativa (GenBank:NP001062185); MxdRLP1-1: allele (GenBank:XX000002) found in the fire blight susceptible Malus x domestica cultivars ‘Malling 26’, ‘Malling 27’ and fire blight resistant ‘Robusta 5’.
