Figure 3

Sites under selection along the evolution of the two starch biosynthesis enzymes exhibiting compartmental specialization, PHO and PGM. A: Starch phosphorylase gene family; B: Phosphoglucomutase gene family. Sites are positioned on consensus sequences inferred at duplication nodes D1. Posterior probability (PP) of sites detected under positive selection in branch a (above the sequence) or b (beneath the sequence) are indicated: * for PP > 0.95, ** for PP > 0.99. Sites highlighted in dark grey and light grey correspond respectively to the catalytic domain and ion metal binding domain of pgm described by Manjunath and collaborators [30].
