Evolution of chick type I procollagen genes.

K Benveniste-Schrode, J L Doering, W W Hauck

    Journal of Molecular Evolution
    |January 1, 1985

    Summary

    Collagen genes show surprising DNA sequence similarities, suggesting a common evolutionary origin from a 9-base pair primordial sequence. This finding aids in understanding collagen gene evolution in vertebrates.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Evolutionary Biology

    Background:

    • Vertebrate collagens share structural traits but lack detectable DNA sequence homology.
    • Previous studies have not identified significant sequence similarities within or between collagen genes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate potential DNA sequence homologies in vertebrate collagen genes.
    • To explore the evolutionary origins of collagen genes, specifically chick alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) cDNAs.

    Main Methods:

    • Non-stringent hybridization techniques were used to detect cross-homology.
    • Detailed DNA sequence analysis was performed on coding regions for helical sequences.

    Main Results:

    • Considerable cross-homology was found within and between chick alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) cDNAs.
    • The chick pro alpha 2(I) collagen gene likely evolved from a 9-bp primordial sequence (GGTCCTCCT), coding for Gly-Pro-Pro triplets.
    • The chick pro alpha 1(I) gene appears to have originated from a different 9-bp sequence (GGTCCCCCC).

    Conclusions:

    • Collagen genes may share a common evolutionary origin through gene duplication and divergence of primordial sequences.
    • The findings provide insights into the genetic basis and evolution of collagen structure.
