The phylogenetic relationship among the kingdoms Animalia, Plantae, and
Fungi remains uncertain, because of lack of solid fossil evidence. In spite
of the extensive molecular phylogenetic analyses since the early report,
this problem is a longstanding controversy; the proposed phylogenetic
relationships differ for different authors, depending on the molecules and
methods that they use. To settle this problem, we have accumulated 23
different protein species from the three kingdoms and have inferred the
phylogenetic trees by three different methods-- the maximum-likelihood
method, the neighbor-joining method, and the maximum-parsimony method--for
each data set. Although inferred tree topologies differ for different
protein species and methods used, both the maximum-likelihood analysis
based on the difference (delta l) between the total log-likelihood of a
tree and that of the maximum- likelihood tree and bootstrap probability (P)
of 23 proteins consisting of 10,051 amino acid sites in total have shown
that a tree ((A,F),P), in which Plantae (P) is an outgroup to an Animalia
(A)-Fungi (F) clade, is the maximum-likelihood tree; the delta l (= 0.0)
and P (94%) of ((A,F),P) are significantly larger than those of ((A,P),F)
(delta l = - 54.4 +/- 36.3; and P = 6%) and ((F,P),A) (delta l = -141.1 +/-
30.9; and P = 0%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
