PHOSIDA: evolutionary section. The phylogeny in 70 species is illustrated for each phosphoprotein. The degree of homology is indicated by colors. Red means that the selected phosphoprotein does not show any significant sequence similarity. Blue means that the sequence of the phosphoprotein is significantly similar to a protein of another organism, but only one-directionally according to BLASTP. Green means that the phosphoprotein is probably orthologous to a protein of the chosen organism, since its sequence is significantly similar to the homologous protein in both directions. To enable users to set more stringent criteria for homology relating to the identities of aligned sequences and to check the entire sequence similarity, the global alignments of homologous proteins are also provided.
