Figure 4

Plastid targeted solute transporters of putative 'Chlamydia-like' origin in Plantae. For details of tree building see Figure 2. The filled magenta circle shows the node that unites chlamydial taxa with plastid targeted Plantae transporters. The different photosynthetic groups are shown in different text colors: blue for cyanobacteria, red for red algae, green for green algae and land plants, magenta for glaucophytes, and brown for chromalveolates. The inclusion of chromalveolates within the Plantae is believed to reflect horizontal or endosymbiotic gene transfer events (for example, [50]). The two transporters are: (a) ADP/ATP translocater; and (b) heavy metal ATPase (HMA1) copper transporter. The name of the A. thaliana solute transporter used for the query is indicated for both trees shown in this figure.
