Figure 3.
Inferred evolutionary history of TAF3, TAF8, and SPT7. (A) TAF3 arises from a duplication of a shared ancestor of TAF8 in opisthokonta. TAF3 acquired a PHD, which is secondarily lost in late fungi. (B,C) SPT7 duplicated either in the ancestor of the amoebozoa (B) or pre-LECA (C), implying differential loss. Metazoan SPT7 lost its BrD. Duplications are represented as red arrows.
