The EF-2 coding genes of the Archaea Pyrococcus woesei and Desulfurococcus mobilis were cloned and sequenced. Global phylogenies were inferred by alternative tree-making methods from available EF-2(G) sequence data and contrasted with phylogenies constructed from the more conserved but shorter EF-1 alpha(Tu) sequences. Both the monophyly (sensu Hennig) of Archaea and their subdivision into the kingdoms Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota are consistently inferred by analysis of EF-2(G) sequences, usually at a high bootstrap confidence level. In contrast, EF-1 alpha(Tu) phylogenies tend to be inconsistent with one another and show low bootstrap confidence levels. While evolutionary distance and DNA maximum parsimony analyses of EF-1 alpha(Tu) sequences do show archaeal monophyly, protein parsimony and DNA maximum-likelihood analyses of these data do not. In no case, however, do any of the tree topologies inferred from EF-1 alpha(Tu) sequence analyses receive significant bootstrap support.
嗜热栖热球菌(Pyrococcus woesei)和运动脱硫球菌(Desulfurococcus mobilis)的EF-2编码基因被克隆并测序。通过替代的建树方法,从可用的EF-2(G)序列数据推断出全局系统发育,并与由更保守但更短的EF-1α(Tu)序列构建的系统发育进行对比。通过对EF-2(G)序列的分析,通常在高自展置信水平下,始终推断出古菌的单系性(按照亨尼希的意义)及其细分为泉古菌门(Crenarchaeota)和广古菌门(Euryarchaeota)。相比之下,EF-1α(Tu)系统发育往往彼此不一致,并且显示出自展置信水平较低。虽然对EF-1α(Tu)序列的进化距离和DNA最大简约分析确实显示出古菌的单系性,但对这些数据的蛋白质简约和DNA最大似然分析则不然。然而,在任何情况下,从EF-1α(Tu)序列分析推断出的任何树形拓扑都没有得到显著的自展支持。
