A nuclear gene for higher level phylogenetics: phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase tracks mesozoic-age divergences within Lepidoptera (Insecta).
The sequence of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) has been previously identified as a promising candidate for reconstructing Mesozoic-age divergences (Friedlander, Regier, and Mitter 1992, 1994). To test this hypothesis more rigorously, 597 nucleotides of aligned PEPCK coding sequence (approximately 30% of the coding region) were generated from 18 species representing Mesozoic-age linea...
متن کاملThe major opsin in bees (Insecta: Hymenoptera): A promising nuclear gene for higher level phylogenetics.
We report the phylogenetic utility of the nuclear gene encoding the long-wavelength opsin (LW Rh) for tribes of bees. Aligned nucleotide sequences were examined in multiple taxa from the four tribes comprising the corbiculate bees within the subfamily Apinae. Phylogenetic analyses of sequence variation in a 502-bp fragment (approx 40% of the coding region) strongly supported the monophyly of ea...
متن کاملNuclear genes resolve mesozoic-aged divergences in the insect order Lepidoptera.
Compared to the number of genes available for study of both younger and older divergences, few genes have yet been identified that can strongly resolve phylogenetic splits of Mesozoic age ( approximately 65-250 mya). Thus, reconstruction of Mesozoic-age phylogenies, exemplified by basal divergences within the major orders of holometabolous insects, is likely to be especially dependent on combin...
متن کاملMultihormonal Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Gene Transcription
We used a nuclear RNA transcript elongation assay to show that cAMP analogs and dexamethasone cause a selective increase of transcription of the P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase gene in H4IIE hepatoma cells. 8-(4-~hlorophenylthio)-cAMP increased transcription within 5 min and the maximal rate, generally 10-15fold above the basal rate, was attained by 30 min. This increase was of sufficient magnitud...
متن کاملNuclear factor I regulates expression of the gene for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP).
Nuclear factor-I (NFI) binds to the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) (PEPCK) gene promoter immediately 5' to the cAMP regulatory element (CRE). This suggests an interaction between NFI and factors that bind the CRE. Of the four NFI isoforms expressed in mammalian tissues, NFI-A and -B stimulate basal transcription from the PEPCK gene promoter in HepG2 cells, while NFI-C and -X are slight...
