The phylogenetic tree of the RopB clan, rooted at mid-point for visualization purpose, comprises 182 leaves and was inferred from a trimmed alignment of 229 sites. The label of a leaf corresponds to the NCBI protein id of the putative receptor, followed by the name of the encoding species. The most outer label in bold indicates the sequence of a putative LCP encoded in the genomic vicinity of a ropB homolog (leaf) whenever detected. The three-color strips correspond to (i) the genomic orientation of the candidate receptor-LCP pair, (ii) the intergenic distance between the receptor and LCP ORFs and+ (iii) the confidence score, ranging from 1 to the 27 of the Shine-Dalgarno RBS motif identified upstream from the LCP’s ORF (white meaning no RBS detected). Tips without labels correspond to collapsed receptors encoded by the same species and without LCP detected in the vicinity.
