Figure 2

A radial cladogram describing the overall relationship of selected eIF4E-family members from multiple species. The topology of a neighbor-joining tree visualized in radial format derived from an alignment of nucleotide sequences representing the conserved core regions of the indicated eIF4E-family members. The full names of the species represented and the accession numbers for cDNA sequences used to derive consensus core sequences can be found within supplementary data to this publication. Alignments of cDNA sequences to derive consensus core sequences can be obtained and verified at the "eIF4E-family member database" [35]. eIF4E-family member names in black or red indicate whether or not the complete sequence of the conserved core region of the member could be predicted from consensus cDNA sequence data, respectively. eIF4E-family member names in blue indicate that genomic sequence data was used to either verify or determine the nucleotide sequence representing the core region of the member. The shape of a 'leaf' indicates the taxonomic kingdom from which the species containing the eIF4E-family member derives: Metazoa (diamonds); Fungi (squares); Viridiplantae (triangles); and Protista (circles); respectively. The color of a 'leaf' indicates the sub-group of the eIF4E-family member: metazoan eIF4E-1 and IFE-3-like (red); fungal eIF4E-like (gold); plant eIF4E and eIF(iso)4E-like (green); metazoan eIF4E-2-like (cyan); plant nCBP-like (blue); fungal nCBP/eIF4E-2-like (purple); metazoan eIF4E-3-like (pink); atypical eIF4E-family members from some protists(white). eIF4E-family members within structural classes Class I, Class II, and Class III are indicated. Bootstrap values of greater than 60 % derived from 50,000 tests are shown.
