Evolution of RNA polymerases and branching patterns of the three major groups of Archaebacteria.

Abstract：

:The amino acid sequences of the largest subunits of the RNA polymerases I, II, and III from eukaryotes were compared with those of archaebacterial and eubacterial homologs, and their evolutionary relationships were analyzed in detail by a recently developed tree-making method, the likelihood method of protein phylogeny, as well as by the neighbor-joining method and the parsimony method, together with bootstrap analyses. It was shown that the best tree topologies predicted by the first two methods are identical, whereas the last one predicts a distinct tree. The maximum likelihood tree revealed that, after the separation from archaebacteria, the three eukaryotic RNA polymerases diverged from an ancestral precursor in the eukaryotic lineage. This result is contrasted with the published result showing multiple origins for the three eukaryotic polymerases. It was shown that eukaryotic RNA polymerase I evolved much more rapidly than RNA polymerases II and III: The N-terminal half of RNA polymerase I shows an extraordinarily high evolutionary rate, possibly due to relaxed functional constraints. In contrast the evolutionary rate of archaebacterial RNA polymerase is remarkably limited. In addition, including the second largest subunit of the RNA polymerase, a detailed analysis for the branching pattern of the three major groups of archaebacteria was carried out by the maximum likelihood method. It was shown that the three major groups of archaebacteria are likely to form a single cluster; that is, archaebacteria are likely to be monophyletic as originally proposed by Woese and his colleagues.
