Functional Promiscuity of Homologues of the Bacterial ArsA ATPases

Figure 4

(a) CLUSTALX multiple alignment showing the relationships of the representative proteins to each other. Representative proteins from each family were selected following an NCBI BLASTP search, selecting sequences with 30%–50% identity and an -value less than . (b) SuperfamilyTree created with representative proteins using the SFT1 program [22] without a multiple alignment and using TreeView [24]. (c) Representative proteins were analyzed, and the tree was generated using ProtPars [25]. Both CLUSTALX and SFT1 use neighbor-joining algorithms to generate the trees while ProtPars uses parsimony. These trees show the evolutionary relationships of ArsA homologues to each other. Numbers are assigned in (a) and retained in (b) and (c).
