Figure 3

Reduced Proline racemase maximum likelihood phylogeny with active site alignment. Bootstrap resampling (100 iterations) was undertaken and percentages are displayed. Fungal branches are shown in green. An alignment around the active site is also displayed. Clade letters in parentheses correspond to those in Figure 2. The phylogeny is rooted around the Metazoan/Pezizomycotina specific clade (clade-C), all members of this clade have a threonine at the active site. C. parapsilosis and its phylogenetic neighbors have a threonine instead of a cysteine at the active site (clade-A). A. oryzae, A. niger and G. zeae all contain cysteine at the active site (clade-D). A. flavus, A. oryzae, A. niger, A. nidulans and G. zeae also have cysteine at the active site (clade-C).
