These problems have been analyzed mainly by comparisons of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SrRNA) sequences. However, the SrRNA phylogeny may sometimes be unreliable, especially when base compositions are biased among species. Because it is difficult to take full account of the bias in inferring the SrRNA tree, alternative examinations using protein sequence data have been very much desired. We analyzed the phylogenetic relationship among eukaryotes, archaebacteria, and eubacteria by the ML method of protein phylogeny using amino acid sequence data of EF-1α/Tu and 2/G. The unrooted tree analyses of both the EF-1α/Tu and 2/G consistently demonstrated that the ‘eocyte’ tree, in which archaebacteria are not monophyletic but eocytes are closer to eukaryotes than to other archaebacteria, is very likely. Further analysis using a composite tree of EF-1α/Tu and 2/G suggested that archaebacteria are closer to eukaryotes than to eubacteria but are not monophyletic. These results clearly support the hypothesis that eukaryotes have evolved from the eocyte-like organism. We also analyzed a protozoan phylogeny including mitochondrion-lacking species by the ML method using EF-1α and EF-2 data sets, and demonstrated (a) that two mitochondrion-lacking species, G. plecoglossi (Microsporidians) and G. lamblia (Diplomonads) probably represent the first and the second earliest offshoots of eukaryotes, respectively; (b) that Trypanosoma is not likely to have diverged next to Giardia as suggested by the SrRNA tree, but shows high affinity with higher eukaryotes; and (c) that protein phylogeny would give a robust estimation because amino acid compositions of conservative proteins do not differ significantly among species.</div>","PeriodicalId":50880,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Biophysics","volume":"32 ","pages":"Pages 73-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0065-227X(96)84742-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19753222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
