Evolutionary rates for tuf genes in endosymbionts of aphids.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1998

Brynnel E U, Kurland C G, Moran N A, Andersson S G

Abstract excerpt

The gene encoding elongation factor Tu (tuf) in aphid endosymbionts (genus Buchnera) evolves at rates of 1.3 x 10(-10) to 2.5 x 10(-10) nonsynonymous substitutions and 3.9 x 10(-9) to 8.0 x 10(-9) synonymous substitutions per position per year. These rates, which are at present among the most reliable substitution rates for protein-coding genes of bacteria, have been obtained by calibrating the nodes in the...
