Prochlorococcus marinus ), Streptomyces coelicolor, and Thermomonospora fusca.
For all of the operonic Anabaena/Nostoc Trp-pathway proteins used as queries, homolog sequences from other cyanobacteria ( Synechocystis, Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus ) were the remaining top hits returned in the BLAST queue.
Unicellular cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis, Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus have far smaller genomes and lack the ability to fix nitrogen (heterocyst formation).
Since the basic single-copy repertoire of dispersed aromatic-pathway genes shown in Figure 2for Synechocystis (Ssp) is representative of other cyanobacteria such as Synechococcus (Syn) and Prochlorococcus (Pmu) and is also present at dispersed extra-operonic loci of Anabaena and Nostoc , an obvious possibility would seem to be that the genes of the supraoperon originated by LGT in a common ancestor of Anabaena and Nostoc . If so, speciation was followed by different species-specific gene-insertion events.
As BLAST hits must be considered imperfect indicators of nearest-neighbor homologs [ 38], the conclusion that the operonic trp -pathway genes are of cyanobacterial lineage origin was confirmed more rigorously by examination of extensive trees (available upon request) constructed for each trp protein of Anabaena and Nostoc . For the Trp-pathway proteins, all the cyanobacterial proteins clustered together, regardless of whether they were Anabaena or Nostoc paralogs or whether they were the singly represented proteins of Synechocystis, Synechococcus , or Prochlorococcus . The same result was obtained for AroA Iβ protein trees.
