Distribution and Evolution of Cyclotides in Plants.
Summary cladogram showing the major evolutionary groups of angiosperms and the occurrence of cyclotides within these groups. The timeline of the evolution of flowering plants is indicated in million years ago (Mya). Cyclization of linear proteins may occur by simple mutations of linear cystine knot ancestor genes, which yield appropriately located Asn/Asp residues.
