Nucleotide sequences of immunoglobulin-epsilon pseudogenes in man and apes and their phylogenetic relationships.

Abstract:

:To understand the phylogenetic relationships between hominoids, the nucleotide sequences of immunoglobulin-epsilon processed pseudogenes from chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan were determined. The basic structures of these processed pseudogenes agreed with their human counterpart. Although the degrees of nucleotide differences between man and the African apes had no statistical significance, all the analytical data examined supported the theory that chimpanzee is the closest relative of man. This result was consistent with that deduced by our recent qualitative study. Studies on the nucleotide sequences of globin genes have suggested that the molecular clock runs more slowly in hominoids than in non-hominoid primates. According to the present data, however, further retardation of the evolutionary rate was not observed in the human lineage. Assuming that orangutan diverged 14 million years ago and that the evolutionary rate between the orangutan lineage and the lineage leading to the other three species is constant, the divergence dates of chimpanzee and gorilla were estimated to be 4.9(+/- 0.9) and 5.9(+/- 0.9) million years ago, respectively.
