Phylogenetic comparison of EhPRMT proteins. The predicted amino acid sequences of the putative EhPRMTs were aligned with sequences of human PRMTs by ClustalW and data were submitted to phylogenetic analysis by UPGMA using MEGA version 5.05. Protein sequences used for this analysis were: Human PRMT proteins: PRMT1 (Q99873), PRMT2 (P55345), PRMT3 (O60678), PRMT4 (Q86X55), PRMT5 (O14744), PRMT6 (Q96LA8), PRMT7 (Q9NVM4), PRMT8 (Q9NR22) PRMT9 (Q86XK2); E. histolytica PRMT proteins: EhPRMT1a (EHI_105780); EhPRMT1b (EHI_152460); EhPRMT1c (EHI_202470); and EhPRMT-A (EHI_159180). Accession numbers are from GenBank®. Numbers at the branch nodes indicate the confidence percentages of the tree topology from bootstrap analysis of 1000 replicates. Proteins are grouped in I, II, and III enzymatic types.
