Phylogenetic analysis based on comparison of deduced amino acid sequence of EuIPI with those of other IPIs from different organisms including plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals (a) or with plant two type I IPIs (b). EuIPI shares a common evolutionary origin with other plant IPIs indicating that EuIPI belongs to the plant IPI group and has high homology with C. acuminata IPI2 (90.9% identity). Alignments were performed with Clustal W and visualized with TreeView. Distances between sequences are expressed as 0.1 changes per amino acid residue.
