Simplified unrooted (A) and rooted tree (B–D) of TAA family proteins. For the unrooted tree (A), there are at least three rooted trees (B–D). The orange and green triangles represent land plant tryptophan aminotransferase and alliinase clades respectively. Trees (E,F) are rooted trees with the Haptophyceae and Cryptophyta sequences and the Ichthyosporea sequence as the outgroups, respectively. Trees (B,E) are modified from Turnaev et al. (2015). Tree (D) is modified from Wang et al. (2014).
