Supplemental Figure 7 Fig. 7.
Alignment of amino acid sequences of ParA in various bacteria. Forty-three ParA homologues were found in databases by using the BLAST algorithm. The alignment of amino acid sequences was used to draw the phylogenic tree shown in Fig. 1. The ParA homologues that belong to the chromosomal group are indicated in blue, and those from the extrachromosomal group, in pink. In the aligned sequences, conserved residues and conservative substitutions (V/I/L, T/S, D/E, Y/F, R/K) are shaded in red if present in 34 or more sequences of 43 ParA homologues, in green if present in 26 or more sequences of 31 ParA homologues on the chromosomes, and in orange if present in 8 or more sequences of 12 ParA homologues on extrachromosomal elements. *, parA genes in the extrachromosomal group were located on chromosomes.
