Phylogenetic tree and sequence alignment of the MpIspS with some known IspSs. a Phylogenetic tree of the retrieved MpIspS and known IspS sequences. The bars represent evolutionary distance. b Alignment of amino acid sequences of IspSs. The GenBank accession numbers are: Populous alba, ADG96473.1; Populus tremuloides, Q7XAS7.1; Salix sp., AEK70967.1; Populus trichocarpa, ACD70404.1; Vitis vinifera, CAN65805.1; Eucalyptus globulus, BAF02831.1; Melaleuca alternifolia, AAP40638.1. Shaded sequences are the metal ions binding motif, DDXXD, and NDXXTXXXE. The canonical amino acid residues for isoprene synthases are boxed
