Phylogenetic tree of Tc-Importin α proteins. Metazoans have three conserved Importin α families (α1, α2 and α3). Tc-Importin α1 (framed) encodes a protein of the Importin α1 family. Interestingly, it is more closely related to the mouse than to the Drosophila orthologs. M. musculus has two paralogs per family while Tribolium and Drosophila have only one representative of each Importin α family. Shown is a Neighbor-joining tree with Bootstrap values for each node.
