Possible origin of a calmodulin gene that lacks intervening sequences
K D Gruskin et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1987 Mar.
Abstract
The divergent, muscle-specific allele of the chicken calmodulin gene contains no intervening sequences and apparently was produced by a reverse transcriptase-mediated event. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of this gene were compared with nucleotide and amino acid sequence data of other known calmodulin genes in order to investigate its evolutionary history. These comparisons, as well as the CpG dinucleotide content, support the conclusion that this highly divergent chicken calmodulin gene did not exist for any significant period of times as a pseudogene and suggest plausible alternative genetic histories. The most parsimonious history involves the viral import of a very old foreign gene of high CpG content.
