Phylogenetic tree of NASP proteins from different eukaryotic lineages reconstructed using TPR 1–4 amino acid sequences. Tree topology and branch lengths correspond to Bayesian inferences. The average standard deviation of split frequencies from two runs was 0.009. Posterior probability values are indicated in bold-face and underlined whereas bootstrap values (based on 1000 replicates) for the ML tree are indicated in light-face and are only reported when at least ≥ 50%. Different taxonomic groups are indicated in the right margin. T. cruzi and T. brucei were used as out groups to root the tree.
