Groups of SCD mutations were clustered in regions of protein exhibiting the highest degree of conservation between species.
Notably, Trp273 has the highest degree of conservation.
Disease-related genes are known to present higher degrees of conservation (Arbiza et al. 2006).
These conserved motifs showed a high degree of conservation in amino acids between monocot and dicot species [ 10, 26, 27].
The PBD1 sequence is similarly conserved as it exhibits a high degree of conservation in metazoans, including worms and insects.
High degree of conservation of ubiquitin's sequence implies structural and functional importance of the conserved residues.
Analysis of the genomic structure of the rice EUL genes revealed a high degree of conservation.
OsUbc13 also shows a high degree of conservation with Ubc13s from other eukaryotic organisms.
The components and biogenesis mechanisms of CIA pathway exhibit high degree of conservation in mammals and yeast.
When analyzing the sequence similarity between the different EUL domains (151 amino acids), a high degree of conservation was observed.
