Figure 3From: Analysis of the immune-related transcriptome of a lophotrochozoan model, the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii Alignment and phylogenetic analysis of the myc oncogene. (A) The partial protein sequence of myc from P. dumerilii (AM697687) was aligned with corresponding sequences from S. purpuratus (NP_999744), D. melanogaster (Q9W4S7), C. elegans (NP_001022773), human c-myc (P01106), and human n-myc (1202343A). The human myc-like protein (NP_001028253) was used as out-group. Red color indicates 70% consensus and blue color 40% consensus. (B) A Bayesian protein tree generated using the aligned protein sequences revealed that Platynereis myc shows highest relation to human c-myc. Posterior probabilities are plotted at the nodes. The scale bar represents the substitutions per site according to the model of amino acid evolution applied.Back to article page
