Phylogenetic tree showing how the number of cytoplasmic actin and tropomyosin isoforms changed over the course of evolution in eukaryotes. These numbers are strongly anti-correlated, suggesting that different lineages used different strategies to generate a complex actin cytoskeleton. For clarity, muscle actins which are specific to Metazoa and which are highly specialized were excluded.
