Phylogenetic analysis of AnPcpA homologs in selected organisms. (A) Comparison of amino acid sequence characterization among AnPcpA homologs in selected species. The black box indicates an area that belongs to a conserved PACT domain, as determined by searching conserved domains in NCBI. (B) Phylogenetic tree representing the evolutionary relationships between AnPcpA homologs. The tree was constructed with MEGA5 software by the neighbor-joining method from amino acid sequences of pericentrin homologs: Aspergillus nidulans, AN3062.4; Aspergillus terreus, Q0CXP2; Aspergillus fumigatus, Q4WXF9; Neurospora crassa, XP_959539; Drosophila melanogaster, Q400N2; Homo sapiens, AAD10838; Mus musculus, NP_006022.3; Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Q92351.1; Saccharomyces cerevisiae, P32380; and Ustilago maydis, Q4PCA7). Sequences were obtained from NCBI and CADRE.
