Origin and Evolution of Glutamyl-prolyl tRNA Synthetase WHEP Domains Reveal Evolutionary Relationships within Holozoa (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Phylogenetic analysis of WHEP domains in selected protostomes.
77 WHEP domain sequences from 18 protostomes that included 11 arthropod, two annelid, one mollusc, and four nematode species were used to construct a maximum-likelihood tree. Individual WHEP domains were identified by dot matrix analysis against Drosophila melanogaster EPRS linker domain. Phylogenetic trees were constructed and analyzed as in Figure 1.
