Figure 1.
Neighbour‐joining phylogenetic tree, constructed from amino acid sequences of glycyl radical enzymes. The choline trimethylamine‐lyase, CutC, has been further split into two distinct sub‐clusters, type I and type II as previously described by Martínez‐del Campo and colleagues (2015). Association of the CutC clusters with different glycyl radical enzyme‐containing microcompartment (GRM) loci is given in bracketed bales, as defined by Axen and colleagues (2014). The cut C genes corresponding to type I and II.b sub‐clusters are approximately 2.5 kb and include the functionally characterized cut C of D . desulfuricans. Type II.a genes include the cut C of P . mirabilis and are approximately 3.4 kb in length. The other sequence clusters represent characterized glycyl radical enzymes, except the cluster labelled ‘Unknown CPFL’ which has an unknown function (Lehtiö and Goldman, 2004). Bootstrap values > 70% are indicated on the nodes (1000 replicates). The scale bar indicates evolutionary distance in mutations per residue.
