Identification and Analysis of the SET-Domain Family in Silkworm, Bombyx mori

Figure 3

Phylogenetic analysis of SUV39 subfamily. Nc: Neurospora crassa; Sp: Schizosaccharomyces pombe; Am: Apis mellifera; Ld: Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Ldheterochromatin represents the heterochromatin protein of Leptinotarsa decemlineata SUV39 subfamily. DIM5 and CLR4 are representative SUV39 subfamily members of Neurospora crassa and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The bright green on the phylogenetic tree represents silkworm members (the abbreviations of species mentioned above are omitted here). Domains: CHROMO (CHRromatin Organization MOdifier), Pre-SET (Cys-rich putative Zn2+-binding domain that occurs at N-terminal to some SET domains), and Post-SET (Cysteine-rich motif following a subset of SET domains).
