Fig 1. Phylogenetic analysis of the NDST protein family.

Fig 1

Based on sequence similarity and phylogenetic analysis, the NDST enzymes can be divided into three main branches: NDST1, NDST2 and a common branch for NDST3 and NDST4. Invertebrate genomes contain a single ndst. The consensus neighbor-joining tree was calculated with 1000 bootstrap replicates. Zebrafish Ndst enzymes are encircled. Species names are abbreviated as follows: hs, human; mm, mouse; gg, chicken; ga, stickleback; lc, coelacanth; dr, zebrafish; ci, sea squirt; dm, fruit fly; ce, C. elegans; nv, starlet sea anemone; ta, Trichoplax. The accession numbers are listed under Experimental procedures.
