Analysis of REC-8 homologs. a Maximum likelihood unrooted phylogenetic tree of the amino acid sequences of the REC-8 homologs in D. coronatus (red), C. elegans (black; canonical gene names are shown in addition to UniProt IDs) and P. pacificus (blue). Numbers are bootstrap values in percent. Scale bar indicates 0.5 replacements/site. One meiotic kleisin (g17488.t1; 410 residues of the N-terminus were used in the analysis) and three pairs of mitotic kleisins can be identified in D. coronatus. b Genomic structure (30 kbp) around the putative D. coronatus REC-8 (g17488.t1) and its allelic partner. The gene is present only in one allelic partner. c Protein structure of the putative D.c (D. coronatus) REC-8. Similarities with C.e (C. elegans) REC-8 and HIM-1 are shown. Numbers indicate positions in the amino acid sequences. The homologous regions are marked by dotted boxes. Some Pfam domains are indicated by ovals. The putative D.c REC-8 seems to be a fusion of the N-terminus of REC-8 and the complete HIM-1
