Structure and sequence comparison of the CYP61 gene from X . dendrorhous. (A) PCR-amplified DNA region that includes the CYP61 gene from X. dendrorhous. The nine exons of the CYP61 gene are shown in thick red arrows (E1 to E9) and the recognition site of primers used in this work are represented by thin arrows. (B) Sequence comparison of CYP61 genes from different X. dendrorhous strains: UCD 67–385 [GenBank: JX183236], CBS 6938 [GenBank: JX183240], VKM Y-2786 [GenBank: JX183238], UCD 67–210 [GenBank: JX183237], AVHN2 [GenBank: JX183239], ANCH03 [GenBank: JX183241], ANCH07 [GenBank: JX183242] and ANCH10 [GenBank: JX183243]. The base changes are shown indicating their position in bp, with the adenine of the translation start codon as bp 1. The respective exon (E-1 to E-9) or intron (I-1 to I-8) where the base changes occur is also indicated.
