Gratifyingly, many more QuartOPs supported the grouping of the thermophilic archaeon Archaeoglobus with the thermophilic bacteria Aquifex and Thermotoga . The different interdomain genome quartets that include a meso- or thermophilic archaeon are summarized in Table 3.
Neisseria meningitidis (Neime), Pasteurella multocida (Pasmu), Psudomonas aeruginosa (Pseae), Rickettsia prowazekii (Ricpr), Staphyloccocus aureus (Staau), Streptococcus pyogenes (Strpy), Synechocystis PCC6803 (SynPC), Thermotoga maritima (Thema), Treponema pallidum (Trepa), Ureaplasma urealyticum (Ureur), Vibrio cholerae (Vibch), Xylella fastidiosa (Xylfa), and ten archaea: Aeropyrum pernix (Aerpe), Archaeoglobus fulgidus (Arcfu), Halobacterium sp. (Halsp), Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (Metth), Methanococcus jannaschii (Metja), Pyrococcus horikoshii (Pyrho), Pyrococcus abyssi (Pyrab), Sulfolobus solfataricus (Sulso), Thermoplasma acidophilum (Theac), Thermoplasma volcanium (Thevo).
Maximum-likelihood trees were constructed for each of these COGs, and a breakdown of nearest neighbors was derived for species and groups involved in each of the non-trivial or questionable branchings discussed above ( Crenarchaea, Thermotoga, Aquifex, Deinococcus, Mycobacterium, Synechocystis, spirochetes, chlamydia, and ε-proteobacteria).
The hyperthermophilic topoisomerase I from Thermotoga maritima has been shown to coordinate one Zn(II) with a unique tetracysteine motif Cys-X-Cys-X 16 -Cys-X-Cys but Zn(II) binding is not required for relaxation activity [ 33 ] . The sequence of this unique tetracysteine motifs is somewhat different from those present in other type IA topoisomerases in that the other tetracysteine motifs always had at least two amino acids separating the pairs of cysteines (Cys-X 2-11 -Cys), instead of just one amino acid (Cys-X-Cys) in T. maritima topoisomerase I [ 33 ] . Therefore the structure and function of the single Zn(II) binding motif in T. maritima may differ from the multiple Zn(II) binding motifs in E. coli topoisomerase I. Direct interaction between DNA and the T. maritima Zn(II) binding motif has not been demonstrated.
The existence of extensive lateral gene transfer between Thermotoga maritima and archaea has been claimed [ 24].
