Figure 2

Phylogenetic relationships of sseKer1, sseKer2, and a wide range of vertebrate type I keratins (see Table 2) using the maximum likelihood method. River lamprey type I keratins were used as an outgroup to root tree. Only bootstrap values higher than 50% are indicated for each branch. The scale for branch length (0.1 substitutions/site) is shown below the tree. Both sseKer1 and sseKer2 appear closely related to epidermally expressed type I keratins from other teleosts. The Atlantic halibut keratin hhKer1 appears as the ortholog of sseKer1. In contrast, no counterpart for sseKer2 is found among the available teleost sequences included in the analysis.
