Amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal indicate the upstream and downstream flanking regions, respectively. The upstream flanking regions of extension motifs E1, E2 and E3 are the carboxy-terminal ending fragments of the Myb R3 repeat, which is highly conserved. Therefore, their amino-terminal dN values are low. dN values for the carboxy-terminal motifs M6 and M11 could not be calculated because of their close proximity to the carboxyl terminus.
