The phyletic pattern of these domains, and phylogenetic analysis of the HNOB domain suggest that the animal versions were probably acquired through lateral transfer from a bacterial source.
Figure 1shows a genome-COG matrix that reveals the phyletic (phylogenetic) patterns of the presence or absence of the orthologs across the spectrum of the sequenced genomes [ 18] for each of the 52 pairs of fusion-linked COGs containing cross-kingdom fusions.
This, together with the phyletic distributution of the AraC and 2OG-Fe(II) dioxygenase superfamilies, leads us to speculate that the 2OG-Fe(II) dioxygenase superfamily evolved from the AraC-like superfamily in bacteria through drastic sequence divergence that eliminated significant sequence similarity, followed by fixation of the modified active-site configuration.
This patchy phyletic distribution across kingdoms is suggestive of multiple gene transfer events that have apparently led to the wide dissemination of these proteins in bacteria and eukaryotes.
When assessed against the topology of the tentative species tree based on the concatenated alignments of ribosomal proteins [ 13], fusions showed a scattered distribution in phyletic patterns (depicted by columns in Figure 1).
