Fig. 3. Unrooted phylogeny of syntaxins 5, 16 and endosomal syntaxins. This phylogeny illustrates the robust reconstruction of the syntaxin 5 family as well as the moderate support for the syntaxin 16 family based on analysis of 18 taxa and 123 positions. The dashed line indicates taxa that were united in the consensus of the methods, but not in the single optimal topology. Support values for nodes with better than 50% support by at least one method are shown (ProtML RELL, Quartet Puzzling and Puzzleboot). The different families are enclosed in boxes according to the colours in Fig. 1. New syntaxin sequences provided by this study are shown in bold.
