Abstract
The phylogenetic position of eleven 14-3-3 proteins from five protozoal species was tested relative to other eukaryotic 14-3-3 versions representing many of the previously described isoforms, The protozoal proteins, four from Entodinium caudatum, three from Entameoba histolytica and four from api-complexan parasites formed clusters closer to the plant and animal epsilon isoforms than to the animal beta, gamma/eta, sigma/theta, and zeta isoforms. This extends the preliminary findings of Wang and Shakes (1996) but data from a wider range of genera are still required to strengthen our hypothesis that the protozoan isoforms may constitute novel isoforms of the 14-3-3 family.
