Figure 1.
A nearest-neighbor dendrogram of the 7 S. cerevisiae and 15 mammalian syntaxins, generated with the DNASTAR program. See Table 2 for yeast gene names; syn, syntaxin. There are also several syntaxin-like genes in the Drosophila and C. elegans genome; see Bock et al. [6] for a more extensive phylogenetic analysis that includes these sequences.
