Duplication and divergence of the genes of the alpha-esterase cluster of Drosophila melanogaster.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 1996

Robin C, Russell R J, Medveczky K M, Oakeshott J G

Abstract excerpt

The alpha-esterase cluster of D. melanogaster contains 11 esterase genes dispersed over 60 kb. Embedded in the cluster are two unrelated open reading frames that have sequence similarity with genes encoding ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and tropomyosin. The esterase amino acid sequences show 37-66% identity with one another and all but one have all the motifs characteristic of functional members of the...
