Molecular evolution and phylogenetic utility of the polyubiquitin locus in mammals and higher vertebrates.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Oct 1996

Vrana P B, Wheeler W C

Abstract excerpt

The product of ubiquitin genes is a small protein involved in intracellular sorting of other proteins. The locus consists of tandemly arrayed, uninterrupted copies of the gene. As several studies have noted, the Polyubiquitin locus is a model system for studying concerted evolution. While the pro...
