Figure 4

Distribution of tethering complex subunits across representative eukaryotic taxa. Data are based on BLAST results together with alignments – typically the S. cerevisiae or H. sapiens sequences were used as queries, as described fully in methods. Large taxon groupings are colour coded, and a key defining the factors represented by each sector is given at bottom. Filled sectors = an identification based on a clear reverse BLAST result and/or additional evidence through analysis of the sequence by Clustal [58]. Open sectors = not found. Individual BLAST results are provided in additional file 3. Note Dsl3/Sec39p has been omitted from this figure as it is only found in S. cerevisiae.
