Motif, cis-acting regulatory elements and gene structure analysis of the OVATE gene family. (A) Protein motifs of OVATE genes. Ten conservative motifs are shown in the figure. (B) Cis-acting regulatory elements analysis of the OVATE genes. Sequences of the 2000Â bp above the start codon were used to identify cis-acting elements. (C) Gene structure of OVATE genes. The yellow and green blocks indicate CDS and UTR respectively, and the lines represent introns. The lengths of blocks and lines represent relative sequence lengths.
