Fig. 6. Tile plot of the most conserved amino acids within RIP domains of each protein group. The Y axis depicts the amino acid and corresponding position within the pokeweed antiviral protein (protein databank: 1QCI), the X axis depicts the proteins groups. For the two pink-highlighted amino acids on the Y axis, different amino acids were present in 70% of sequences at that position but were not present in the amino acid sequence of the crystal structure. The solid blue cells represent amino acids conserved at least 70% within each RIP group and with shared identity to the reference sequence 1QCI. Patterned blue cells represent amino acids conserved at least 70% within RIP groups but without identity to 1QCI. Any amino acid positions with 70% consensus in less than three protein groups were collapsed and shaded black.
