The evolution of kinases, receptors and adhesive proteins in multicellular fungi. The evolution of Ser/Thr kinases (a), canonical GPCRs (b) and adhesion-related genes (c). BCZ nodes (yellow) represent the putative origin of hyphal MC. Bubble size across the tree is proportional to reconstructed ancestral gene copy number (gray bubbles) and extant gene copy number (at the right side of the tree: gray, green and white bubbles represent fungi, metazoa, and protists respectively). Violin plots for kinases (a) and receptors (b) show copy number distribution of gene families in multicellular fungi (gray) and metazoans (green)
