Multiple Sequence Alignment

• 46 analogous sequence compared using ClustalX
• Multiple Sequence Alignment is of high quality and conservation
• Fe2+ and 2-Oxogylterate binding sites shown

Phylogenetic Trees

• Both trees show animals and fungi most highly conserved and plants least conserved
• PhyD required for the breakdown of fatty acids in the diet of animals and fungi
• Original tree similar to consensus tree except for two protozoans
• Monosiga brevicollis and tetrahymena thermophila both have low bootstrap values but some possibility of lateral gene transfer in the case of tetrahymena
