Figure 1. Phylogeny of Ser and Leu tRNAs of the CTG clade species. (A) The phylogenetic analysis of Ser and Leu tRNAs from the CTG clade species was constructed using a maximum likelihood method, which separated the tRNAs in Leu and Ser groups. (B) The tRNACAGSer aligned closer to the tRNACGASer, suggesting that it evolved from the tRNACGASer ancestor. The tRNAs analyzed belong to Candida albicans (ca), Candida dubliniensis (cd), Candida tropicalis (ct), Candida parapsilosis (cp), Lloderomyces elongisporus (le), Candida guilliermondii (cg), Debaryomyces hansenii (dh) and Candida lusitaniae (cl). Bootstrap values for all nodes are displayed. The phylogenetic analysis was performed with Molecular Evolutionary Genetic Analysis (MEGA5) software and tRNA sequences were retrieved from the Candida Gene Order Browser.
