Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree of the major capsid proteins of virophages. The inferred gene organizations in the RVP genomes are shown at the respective branches. The genes are shown as block arrows, with the orientation of the MCP gene chosen as the reference. Green, virophages; red, rumen metagenome sequences. The numbers at the internal branches represent ELW values from 1,000 local rearrangements given as percentage points. Branches with bootstrap support less than 50% are shown as multifurcations. Metagenomic sequence names include the abbreviation for the respective metagenome and nucleotide sequence ID. The metagenomes were as follows: Activated sludge metagenome (AS), Bioreactor metagenome (BR), Gut metagenome (Gut), Marine metagenome (Mar). Virophage abbreviations: ALM, Ace Lake Mavirus; OLV, Organic Lake virophage; YSLV, Yellowstone Lake Virophage. Gene abbreviations: ATP, ATPase; PRO, cysteine protease; MCP, major capsid protein; POLB, DNA polymerase. For virophages present in Genbank, Genbank protein IDs follow virophage names.
