Gene and protein structure of the globe artichoke set of (A) C5-MTases, (B) demethylases.

The exon/intron structures are shown in the left hand panel, with exons displayed as black boxes and introns as lines. The graphical representation of gene structure was generated using the tool provided at http://wormweb.org/exonintron. The domains and motifs are shown in the right hand panel, as well as a box explaining the depicted domains (PFAM). The acronym explanations are: DNMT1-RFD = Cytosine specific DNA methyltransferase replication foci domain; DNA meth = C-5 cytosine-specific DNA methylase; CHROMO = Chromo (CHRromatin Organisation MOdifier) domain; HhH-GPD = HhH-GPD superfamily base excision DNA repair protein; Perm-CXXC = Permuted single zf-CXXC unit; RRM_DME = RRM in Demeter.
