From: Genome wide screening of RNAi factors of Sf21 cells reveal several novel pathway associated proteins
Sil protein phylogenetic analysis. The neighbour-joining tree is based on the alignment of sil gene family of proteins in different organisms. Sf-Sil-2 sub-clusters with the silkmoth Bm-Sil-2, while Tc-SirA and Tc-SirB compose a distinct cluster. Orthology of these insect is clear from this phylogenetic analysis that Lepidoptera Sid like proteins are evolutionary conserved. Ce-Sid1-3 and Hs-SidT1 and SidT2 diverge out separately and Tc-SirC joins Hs cluster.
