The evolution of the A family of chorion genes was examined by comparing new protein and DNA sequences from the silkmoths Antheraea pernyi and Bombyx mori with previously known sequences from Antheraea polyphemus. The comparisons indicated that the A family and its major subfamilies are ancient and revealed how parts of the genes corresponding to distinct regions of the protein structure have evolved, both by base substitutions and by segmental reduplications and deletions.
通过比较柞蚕和家蚕新的蛋白质及DNA序列与多音天蚕先前已知的序列,研究了绒毛膜基因A家族的进化。比较结果表明,A家族及其主要亚家族很古老,还揭示了与蛋白质结构不同区域相对应的基因部分是如何通过碱基替换、片段重复和缺失而进化的。
