Inner tree in the top panel corresponds to the phylogenomic tree of Mirusviricota displayed in Fig. 1. The occurrence of introns (and their nested gene when present) is displayed for each gene of the virion morphogenesis module. The proportion of genes corresponding to the virion morphogenesis module, and the proportion of all introns occurring in this module are also summarized. The bottom panel shows predicted structures of six MING-1 variants. In the first lane, the backbone structures are coloured by aminoacid position (blue N-terminus – red C-terminus). In the second lane, the same structures are shown as surfaces and coloured by hydrophobicity (yellow – hydrophobic, blue – hydrophilic).
