Conserved motifs identified in 146 Brassica ZFP proteins and in all five separate ZFP groups. A cartoon (top) shows the position of the conserved motifs on the protein sequence. Consensus motifs common to all 146 Q-type ZFPs from Brassica oleracea, rapa and napus include, 2 zinc finger motifs with invariant QALGGH (center) and an L-box (left) and EAR-motif (right). Amino acids in bold black are invariant within the composite motifs. Red and green amino acids are common to more than one of the subgroups within either the first or second zinc finger motifs. Alignment of all Brassica proteins in each subgroup confirms the presence of the motif variations (see Additional file 2)
