Phylogenetic analysis to identify Tar/Tag orthologs in S. aureus. The phylogenetic tree shows the orthologs of B. subtilis Tar/Tag ORFs in S. aureus strains Mu50, MW2, N315, MRSA252, MSSA476 and COL. BLAST hits (statistically significant) were used as input. MEGA3 program was used to perform this analysis. NJ trees were constructed using PC (Poisson Correlation) distance and a bootstrap value of 500. After deleting distant branches (homologs but not orthologs), final tree generated. Figure 1a depicts Tar/TagA orthologs. Figure 1b depicts Tar/TagD orthologs. Figure 1c depicts double TarI orthologs in each S. aureus strain. Figure 1d depicts double TarJ orthologs in each S. aureus strain. Figure 1e depicts orthologs of Tar/TagB, Tar/TagF, TarL and once again, two orthologs of TarL in each S. aureus strain are found. However, there is no ortholog of TarK.
