[ 30 ] is that three distinct classes of arsenate reductases exist, which have developed similar mechanisms and reaction centers through convergent evolution.
The lack of significant overall sequence identity between the members of these groups could indicate that these proteins arrived at a common function by convergent evolution from different progenitors, or that the sequences have diverged so far that evolutionary relationships are no longer readily apparent.
The predicted strong positive correlations between PPS and KFS (r = .88, p = .01) support construct (convergent) validity.
Rather than multiple gene duplication events or convergent evolution, this suggests horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of arsC genes.
An analysis using ORF, a program developed to recognize folds by comparing predicted secondary structures of proteins ([ 27]; we are unaware of a published detailed description of this method), identified MJ0301 as a homolog of DHPS, although, given the low sequence similarity, a convergent origin of the relationship between MJ0301 and DHPS was deemed likely (there seems to be a terminological confusion involved here, but we are quoting the results of the original computational analysis of this protein as they have been presented).
