摘要
In order to investigate the polymorphism of alpha-globin chain of hemoglobin amongst caprines, the linked (I)alpha and (II)alpha globin genes of Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia), goat (Capra hircus), European mouflon (Ovis aries musimon), and Cyprus mouflon (Ovis aries ophion) were completely sequenced, including the 5' and 3' untranslated regions. European and Cyprus mouflons, which do not show polymorphic alpha globin chains, had almost identical alpha globin genes, whereas Barbary sheep exhibit two different chains encoded by two nonallelic genes. Four different alpha genes were observed and sequenced in goat, validating previous observations of the existence of allelic and nonallelic polymorphism. As in other vertebrates, interchromosomal gene conversion appears to be responsible for such polymorphism. Evaluation of nucleotide sequences at the level of molecular evolution of the (I)alpha-globin gene family in the caprine taxa suggests a closer relationship between the genus Ammotragus and Capra. Molecular clock estimates suggest sheep-mouflon, goat-aoudad, and ancestor-caprine divergences of 2.8, 5.7, and 7.1 MYBP, respectively. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
