Figure 4

Transketolase alignment flanking a 4-amino acid insertion present in diatom, dinoflagellate and chlorarachniophyte TK-Ch genes. A nearby 11- to 15-amino acid insertion characterizes a mixed group of CFB bacteria and proteobacteria as well as the amoebozoan Hartmannella vermiformis and the dinoflagellate Karlodinium micrum. Eukaryotic TKs putatively derived from lateral transfer events are surrounded by black squares (TK-Ch being the lower box).
