Figure 4

Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic reconstruction of the AMT2 family. Taxonomic groups are colored as described in Figure 1. A) Phylogram of the AMT2 family including plant sequences only supplemented with ML bootstrap values (NJ and parsimony bootstrap values (>75%) indicated as blue and red stars), subcellular localization predictions, topology predictions, and proposed classification system. The root of this tree was defined through the analysis shown in B). B) Unrooted phylogeny of the AMT2 family including eleven most similar non-plant sequences present in GenBank. Color-coding as described above. For database accession numbers of the protein sequences included, see Additional file 1.
