Phylogenetic trees of the Jen protein family. Trees are based on an alignment of Jen proteins and reconstructed with the Neighbor-Joining algorithm. A. Phylogeny of 61 Jen proteins from 18 hemiascomycetous species as inferred from 405 amino acid residues. Each subfamily of Jen proteins is surrounded by a different color: blue for Jen1p, green for Jen2p, and pink for Jen3p. The orange oval indicates the 28 Jen proteins found in the Yarrowia clade. Protein names in bold refer to protein from which experimental data have been published. B. Detailed phylogeny of 28 Jen proteins from the Yarrowia clade as inferred from an alignment of 423 amino acid residues. KLJen2p was used as an outgroup.
