A Bioinformatics Analysis Reveals a Group of MocR Bacterial Transcriptional Regulators Linked to a Family of Genes Coding for Membrane Proteins

Figure 2

Cladogram of (a) the wHTH and (b) AAT domains of the MocR from RegPrecise and SynTax databanks. The cladograms have been calculated with the UPGMA method applied to multiple alignments of domain sequences filtered at 90% sequence identity. Pairwise distances between sequences were calculated in units of number of amino acid differences. The bootstrap tree was inferred from 1000 replicates. Domains from the YczR predicted to be linked to the YczE genes are denoted by green (Actinobacteria), orange (Gammaproteobacteria), and black (Alphaproteobacteria) dots. Red dots denote the YczR SynTax set. Other taxa are from non-YczE MocRs. Asterisks denote nodes supported by at least 90% bootstrap frequency.
