- W2282737723 abstract "The genomes of homeothermic (warm-blooded) vertebrates are mosaic interspersions of homogeneously GC-rich and GC-poor regions (isochores). Evolution of genome compartmentalization and GC-rich isochores is hypothesized to reflect either selective advantages of an elevated GC content or chromosome location and mutational pressure associated with the timing of DNA replication in germ cells. To address the present controversy regarding the origins and maintenance of isochores in homeothermic vertebrates, newly obtained as well as published nucleotide sequences of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) genes, members of a well-characterized gene family believed to have evolved by repeated duplication and divergence, were utilized to examine the evolution of base composition in nonconstrained (flanking) and weakly constrained (introns and fourfold degenerate sites) regions. A phylogeny derived from amino acid sequences supports a common evolutionary history for the insulin/IGF family genes. In cold-blooded vertebrates, insulin and the IGFs were similar in base composition. In contrast, insulin and IGF-II demonstrate dramatic increases in GC richness in mammals, but no such trend occurred in IGF-I. Base composition of the coding portions of the insulin and IGF genes across vertebrates correlated (r = 0.90) with that of the introns and flanking regions. The GC content of homologous introns differed dramatically between insulin/IGF-II and IGF-I genes in mammals but was similar to the GC level of noncoding regions in neighboring genes. Our findings suggest that the base composition of introns and flanking regions is determined by chromosomal location and the mutational pressure of the isochore in which the sequences are embedded. An elevated GC content at codon third positions in the insulin and the IGF genes may reflect selective constraints on the usage of synonymous codons." @default.
