PSI-BLAST and phylogenetic analyses support the HGT origin of DV-regulated ankyrin genes in chalcid wasps (CLANKs), and additional HGTs in insects. a Best maximum-likelihood tree produced by RAXML using all unique sequences obtained by PSI-BLAST of CLANK C-terminal ends. Taxa distribution illustrated with color code in panel. b A sub-tree generated from significant sequences using the C-terminus of Nv-CLANK-C as a query in PSI-BLAST. DV-regulated ankyrin genes CLANK-O and CLANK-B cluster with ankyrin genes from Wolbachia and other representatives of the Chalcidoidea (Trichogramma, Ceratosolen, and Copidosoma). Support of nodes indicated by bootstrap values. c Numerous proteins from the ant Pseudomyrmex cluster strongly and consistently with Wolbachia ankyrin domain-encoding genes
