Phylogenetic tree analysis of SQD2. A phylogeny incorporating eukaryotic SQD2, cyanobacterial sqdX and the glycosyl transferase proteins of other organisms was constructed using Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining algorithms. It is based on a protein comparison. The topologies and branch lengths were calculated using maximum likelihood. Bootstrap values (maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining) higher than 70 and Bayesian posterior probabilities (Bayesian inference) higher than 0.9 are indicated under each branch (maximum likelihood/neighbor-joining/Bayesian inference). The scale bar represents 0.2 amino acid substitutions per site. Sequence accession numbers or sequence resources for the phylogenetic tree are as follows: Archaea glycosyl transferase: Methanocella paludicola (YP_003355097), Methanocella sp. (YP_685710) and Haloferax volcanii (YP_003535220); Alpha-proteobacteria glycosyl transferase: Caulobacter crescentus (YP_002516166), Novosphingobium aromaticivorans (WP_011446186), and Maricaulis maris (WP_011642337); Cyanobacteria sqdX: Cyanothece sp. 1 (WP_015784192), Cyanothece sp. 2 (WP_012629991), Synechococcus elongatus (WP_011243256), Synechococcus sp. (WP_011429929), and Cyanothece sp. 3 (WP_015956855); Other bacterial glycosyl transferases: Truepera radiovictrix (WP_013178429), Rubrobacter xylanophilus (WP_011564279), and Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius (WP_012810695); Rhodophyta SQD2: Chondrus crispus (XP_005715110), and Cyanidioschyzon merolae (XP_005538341); Stramenopile SQD2: Nannochloropsis sp.
