Thus, these two protein superfamilies could have evolved from a common ancestor by acquiring distinct catalytic and ligand-binding properties.
Nevertheless, the occurrences of families, superfamilies, and folds in the worm approximate to a power-law behavior quite well (Figure 1a).
While the catalytic domains of these two superfamilies have very different folds, they follow a similar reaction mechanism that is dependent on two Mg 2+ions coordinated by a cluster of acidic residues.
Thus, none of these superfamilies are likely to have been present in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) of extant life forms.
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.
