Evolution and differentiation of the prion protein gene (PRNP) among species.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Rongyan Zhou, Xianglong Li, Lanhui Li, Xiangyun Li, Fujun Feng

Abstract excerpt

A total of 937 prion protein gene (PRNP) sequences belonging to 83 species in 56 genera of 26 families were analyzed in order to investigate its evolution and differentiation among species. The length of PRNP coding sequence for all species analyzed varied from 567 to 825 bp, which was mainly because of insertion or deletion in the repeat region within and among the species. TGA and TAG are the main stop codons...
