Phylogenetic analysis of acyltransferases. The tree was constructed by the neighbour-joining method with 10000 bootstrap replicates. The length of the lines indicates the relative distances between nodes. Protein sequences used for the alignment are: Dc_HCBT, anthranilate N-hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyltransferase from Dianthus caryophyllus (CAB06427); Ib_HCBT, N-hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyltransferase from Ipomoea batatas (BAA87043); At_HCT, shikimate/quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase from Arabidopsis. thaliana (ABH04595); Nt_HCT, shikimate/quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase from Nicotiana tabacum (CAD47830); Nt_HQT, hydroxycinnamoyl CoA quinate transferase from Nicotiana tabacum (CAE46932); Le_HQT, hydroxycinnamoyl CoA quinate transferase from Lycopersicum esculentum (CAE46933); Cca_HQT, hydroxycinnamoyl CoA quinate transferase from Coffea canephora (ABO77956); Cca_HCT, shikimate/quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase from Coffea canephora (ABO47805); NP_179497 and NP_200592, Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding putative acyltransferases; Cc_(artichoke)_HCT, hydroxycinnamoyl CoA quinate transferase from Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus (AAZ80046); Cc_(cardoon)_HCT, hydroxycinnamoyl CoA quinate transferase from Cynara cardunculus var. altilis (AAZ80047); Cc_(artichoke)_HQT, quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase from Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus (ABK79689, this work) and Cc_(cardoon)_HQT, quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase from Cynara cardunculus var. altilis (ABK79690, this work).
