Gene Families

細胞は頻繁に分裂しているため、ゲノムも頻繁に複製しているはずです。このプロセスでは、DNAの領域が重複するミスが発生する可能性があります。 
DNAの重複した部分に1つ以上のコード領域が含まれている場合、これは遺伝子重複と呼ばれます。元の遺伝子に課せられた機能維持の制約から解放された遺伝子コピーは、突然変異を獲得し、細胞内で新たな機能を果たすために進化する可能性があります。このように進化した遺伝子、つまり単一の種のゲノムに存在する遺伝子の重複を通じて進化した遺伝子を「パラログ」と呼びます。 
一方、オルソログは、共通の祖先から生じたが、1つ以上の種分化イベントの後に進化を続けたさまざまな種の遺伝子を説明するために使用される用語です。 
「ホモログ」という用語は、両方の場合に適用でき、単に共通の祖先を持つ遺伝子を表します。相同遺伝子のグループは、総称して「遺伝子ファミリー」と呼ばれます。
関連するDNAとその結果生じるタンパク質の類似性により、1つの遺伝子ファミリー内の遺伝子は通常、同様の機能を果たすタンパク質を産生します。 
例えば、ヘモグロビンとミオグロビンは、どちらも哺乳類で酸素結合を行う関連タンパク質です。しかし、ヘモグロビンは主要な酸素輸送分子として進化してきましたが、ミオグロビンの役割は酸素貯蔵にあります。
ゲノム配列を調べると、そのような遺伝子ファミリーは、その高い配列類似性により、しばしば同定および分類できます。 
さらに、遺伝子ファミリーを研究することは、タンパク質が存在しない場合でも、新たに発見された遺伝子の機能を仮説を立てるのに役立ちます。

遺伝子ファミリー

遺伝子ファミリーは、共通の祖先に由来すると考えられる遺伝子のグループです。 通常、これらは、細胞分裂中に遺伝子が誤って複製されるという事象によって発生します。 機能を維持するために選択圧力を受ける親遺伝子とは異なり、これらの遺伝子コピーは配列を保持する必要がなく、比較的速い速度で進化する可能性があります。

時には、これらの領域が生体内で新たな役割を持つように適応し、新規遺伝子となることがあります。このような場合、これらの遺伝子はパラログと呼ばれ、同じ種内で共通の祖先遺伝子から進化した遺伝子のことを指します。

遺伝子ファミリーのメンバーを指すときのもう1つの一般的な用語は、オルソログです。 オルソロガス遺伝子は、共通の祖先遺伝子から生じたが、1 回以上の種分化を経ても進化を続けた遺伝子のことです。 たとえば、マウス酵素トレハラーゼの遺伝子には、ヒトにもトレハラーゼ酵素を作るオルソログがあります。しかし、これらの遺伝子とその産物は、マウスとヒトの最後の共通祖先からの長年にわたる進化の変化により、配列が少なくとも部分的に異なっているだろう。 したがって、それらは同じ遺伝子ファミリー内のオルソログです。

遺伝子ファミリー内で関連する 3 つ目の一般的な用語は相同遺伝子です。この用語はより広く、遺伝子ファミリー内のすべての関連遺伝子に適用されます。

さらに、スーパーファミリーという用語は、共通の祖先を共有するのに十分な相同性を示す非常に大きな遺伝子およびタンパク質のグループを指すために関連することもあります。 このような大規模なファミリーの場合、グループ化はメカニズムの類似性に依存してグループの範囲を決定する場合があります。 遺伝子ファミリー内の遺伝子は、共通の遺伝的開始の結果として、通常、関連する機能を実行します。 例えば、免疫グロブリンスーパーファミリーは、細胞結合や接着などの免疫学的応答に関与する可溶性タンパク質と細胞表面タンパク質の両方をコードする多数の遺伝子を含んでいます。 このファミリーの重要な特徴は、メンバーが免疫グロブリンフォールドと呼ばれる共通ドメインを共有していることであり、これは機能にとって重要です。

how gene families evolve and diversify

Gene families are groups of genes that are thought to come from a shared ancestor. They usually form when a gene is copied by mistake during cell division. The original gene stays under selection pressure to keep its job, while the extra copy can change more quickly over time.

Some copied genes gain a new role in the organism. When that happens, they are called paralogs, which are two genes in the same species that evolved from one common ancestral gene. Gene families also include orthologs, which are genes in different species that came from the same ancestral gene and kept evolving after speciation, or the split of one species into separate species.

A mouse trehalase gene, for example, has an ortholog in humans that also makes the trehalase enzyme. Even so, the mouse and human genes, and the proteins they produce, are not identical. They differ at least partly in sequence because of the time since mouse and human shared a common ancestor.

The term homologous genes is broader. It includes all related genes in a gene family. The term superfamily is sometimes used for very large groups of genes and proteins with enough homology, or shared ancestry, to be grouped together. For these large groups, scientists may also use shared mechanism as part of the classification.

Genes in the same family usually do related jobs. One example is the immunoglobulin superfamily. It includes many genes that code for soluble proteins and cell surface proteins involved in immune responses such as cell binding and adhesion. A key feature of this family is a shared domain called the immunoglobulin fold, which is important for function.

the dna helix

DNA Structure and Base Pairing

DNA has a helical structure that helps store genetic information. The double helix is the shape formed by two strands that twist around each other. This structure is a key feature of DNA in cells. The two strands are held together by base pairing. Bases on one strand match with bases on the other strand in a regular way. This pairing helps keep the DNA molecule stable and organized. The helix shape also helps explain how DNA fits into chromosomes and carries instructions for living things. By...

the central dogma

DNA to Protein: Central Dogma Steps

The central dogma explains how genetic information moves from DNA to RNA to protein. This flow is a key idea in molecular biology. It helps show how cells use genes to make the molecules that carry out work. DNA stores the instructions for making proteins. During transcription, a gene in DNA is copied into RNA. The RNA then carries that message to the next stage. In translation, the RNA message is used to build a protein. Proteins do much of the cell’s work, so this process connects genes to...

prokaryotic cells

Inside Prokaryotic Cell Structure

Prokaryotic cells have a simple internal structure compared with many other cells. They are usually divided into two groups: bacteria and archaea. These cells have no nucleus, so their DNA is not enclosed in a membrane-bound compartment. Instead, the genetic material is found in the nucleoid, a region where the DNA is located in the cell. Some prokaryotic cells also contain plasmids, which are small extra DNA molecules. A capsule may surround the cell and provide an additional outer layer. <br...

eukaryotic compartmentalization

Cell Compartments in Eukaryotes

Eukaryotic cells use compartments to organize many different jobs inside one cell. These compartments help separate processes so they can happen in the right place. The compartment called the cytosol is the fluid part of the cell. It surrounds the other internal structures and helps support many cell processes. Inside the cell, membrane-bound organelles create distinct microenvironments. A microenvironment is a small internal space with conditions that fit a specific task. This separation...

the tree of life - bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes

the-tree-of-life-bacteria-archaea-eukaryotes

How Life Is Classified Into Three Domains

The tree of life shows how organisms are related through evolution. Its root represents the common ancestor of all life on Earth. From that point, branches spread out like a tree. The tips of the branches represent living, or extant, species. Species that no longer exist, called extinct species, appear closer to the center of the tree. Today, these organisms are grouped into three domains: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Scientists still debate these divisions, so the tree of life keeps...

mutations

How Mutations Change DNA

Mutations are changes in DNA. They can alter the genetic code and affect how genes work. In high school biology, students often study mutations to understand how DNA changes can influence traits. The transcript focuses on two common mutation types: point mutations and frameshift mutations. A point mutation changes one nucleotide, which is one DNA building block. A frameshift mutation happens when nucleotides are added or removed and the reading frame shifts. These changes matter because they...

gene evolution - fast or slow?

Why Some Gene Regions Evolve Faster

Gene regions do not all change at the same rate. In eukaryotes, long stretches of DNA do not code for proteins or RNAs. Some of these non-coding regions include important regulatory sequences, but most have no known function. Because little or no selection pressure acts on them, they often change the fastest over evolutionary time. Protein-coding regions usually evolve more slowly. A change in a coding sequence can alter a protein and make it less effective at doing its job. That creates...

genome size and the evolution of new genes

genome-size-and-the-evolution-of-new-genes

How Genome Size Shapes New Genes

Genome size can vary widely, and it also helps show how new genes form. Every living organism has a genome, whether it uses RNA or DNA. Yet the size of that genome can be very different from one organism to another. One major difference is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic genomes usually have little to no non-coding sequence, which means genes are packed closely together in operons along the chromosome. Eukaryotic genomes contain long stretches of non-coding DNA...

types of genetic transfer between organisms

types-of-genetic-transfer-between-organisms

How Genes Move Within and Across Generations

Genetic transfer is the movement of genetic information from one organism to another. It happens in two main ways: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer moves genes from one generation to the next. It is much more common than horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer happens during both sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. In both cases, one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome to their offspring. This kind of transfer occurs...
