Relationships to other GlyRSs

Many eubacterial GlyRSs are ab heterodimers. For these enzymes, in the tree below the two chains were fused before alignment.

An unnrooted tree from this multiple alignment generated by Clustal X. Clustal X uses a Neighbour Joining algorithm. Terminal branches and branches which occur in 100% of bootstrap repetitions are in black lines and the other less well supported branches in various shades of grey. Plant sequences are indicated in green, other eukaryotic sequences in blue, eubacterial sequences in red and archaebacterial sequences in magenta. Most sequences were obtained from Swissprot.
