Phylogenetic relationship between CMP-Sialic Acid Synthetases

CSAS_Phyl_Tree_sml

 

 Phylogenetic tree of CSAS proteins from bacteria, insects and complex animals
CSAS enzymes from insects,
more complex animals, and
bacteria represent three
well-separated clades,
which presumably reflects the
fact that these subfamilies
evolved in distinct subcellular
environments.
The tree was built by ClustalW2
using neighbor-joining algorithm
