Diversity of Eukaryotic Translational Initiation Factor eIF4E in Protists

Figure 2

Relationship of selected eIF4E-family members from multiple protist species. Maximum likelihood phylogeny of eIF4E amino acid sequences aligned with T-coffee and trimmed to include only the core region of 453 aligned positions (corresponding to positions 30 to 203 of the human sequence). The tree was constructed using RAxML with the Jones Taylor Thornton gamma distributed model with 100 rapid bootstrap replicates. Bootstrap values above 50% are shown.
