Gene conversion and positive selection driving the evolution of the Caenorhabditis ssp. ZIM/HIM-8 protein family.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Mar 2009

Liu Qingpo

Abstract excerpt

In C. elegans, four C2H2 zinc-finger proteins (ZIM-1, ZIM-2, ZIM-3, and HIM-8), which are arranged in tandem, mediate chromosome-specific pairing and synapsis during meiosis. The zim/him-8 genes from three Caenorhabditis species were contrasted in an effort to investigate the mechanisms driving their evolution. Here it is shown that the preservation of higher degree of sequence similarity in the N-terminal...
