The deduced amino acids alignments of TaRAD51 homoeologous proteins and their 3D models. (a) Multiple alignments of the three TaRAD51 sequences identified in the three bread wheat genomes (A, B and D). Conserved amino acids are indicated by black with a yellow background. The amino acid differences between the three cDNA homoeologous proteins are indicated by black with a grey background. (b) SIFT predictions for the amino acid substitutions for the three cDNA homoeologues of TaRAD51. (c) The 3D structure of TaRad51-7A is represented in red, TaRad51-7B in green and TaRad51-7D in yellow. Blue arrow shows the magnified image of the side chains of three TaRad51 homoeologue proteins, which indicates the only structural dissimilarity.
