Phylogenetic tree of the McrB #GTPases
The major clades in the #phylogenetic tree of the McrB GTPases are distinguished by the distinct versions of the Nx(xx)D signature motif. Each of the differently colored groups is characterized by distinct conserved genomic associations that are abundant within but not completely confined to the respective groups. This tree was built from the representatives of 90% identity clusters of all validated homologs.
