Figure 1.
NRTK families and their members in a guide tree. Protein sequences are obtained from Entrez Gene and aligned using Vector NTI Advance software (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Vector NTI Advance uses the neighbor-joining method of phylogenetic tree construction by Saitou and Nei [127]. The numbers in parentheses after each kinase reflect the calculated distance values between pairs of analyzed sequences.
