Unrooted consensus tree of translational GTPases. Nine major groups are distinguished by high bootstrap values that are shown by numbers on roots of branches. Underlying multiple alignment is based on GTPase domain alignment made with HMMALIGN [18] against GTP_EFTU model from Pfam database. Tree is calculated using PROTDIST (using JTT matrix) [23], NEIGHBOR and CONSENSE (Extended Majority Rule) from the PHYLIP 3.62 package [23]. One hundred bootstraps were performed to evaluate branch reliability.
