Gene Families

Поскольку клетки часто делятся, они также должны часто создавать дубликатя своих геномов. В ходе этого процесса могут происходить ошибки, которые приводят к тому, что целые участки ДНК дублируются Если продублированный участок ДНК содержит один или несколько кодирующих участков, это называют дублирование гена. Освобождённая от ограничений, наложенных на исходный ген для поддержания функции, ген-копия теперь может приобрести мутации и достаточно развиться для выполнения новой функции в клетке.Мы называем гены, которые эволюционировали таким образом, то есть, путём дублирования существующих генов в геноме одного вида, паралоги"Термин Ортологи"с другой стороны, используется для описания генов в разных видах, которые произошли от общего предка, но продолжали эволюционировать после одного или нескольких событий видообразования. Термин гомолог"может быть применён в обоих случаях. Он просто описывает гены с общим предком.Группы гомологичных генов в совокупности называются семействами генов. Из-за сродства их ДНК и. сходства протеинов, гены внутри одного семейства генов обычно вырабатывают белки, которые выполняют аналогичные функции.Например, гемоглобин и миоглобин являются родственными белками, которые оба выполняют связывание кислорода у млекопитающих. Однако гемоглобин эволюционировал в качестве основного участника транспорта кислорода, тогда как роль миоглобина хранение кислорода. При исследовании генома такие семейства генов часто можно определить и классифицировать из-за сильного сходства их последовательностей.Кроме того, изучение семейств генов может помочь при гипотетической оценке функции недавно обнаруженного гена, даже при отсутствии белка.

Семейства генов

Семейства генов состоят из групп генов, которые, как предполагается, произошли от общего предка. Обычно они возникают в результате событий, в которых ген или гены ошибочно дублируются во время деления клетки. В отличие от родительских генов (которые подвергаются давлению отбора для поддержания функции), эти копии генов не должны сохранять свои последовательности и могут развиваться относительно быстрее. Иногда эти области могут адаптироваться для принятия новых ролей в организме, становясь новыми генами сами по себе. Когда это происходит, мы называем эти гены паралогами — двумя генами в пределах одного вида, которые произошли от общего предкового гена. Другой распространенный термин при упоминании членов семейства генов — ортолог. Ортологичные гены — это те, которые произошли от общего предкового гена, но продолжили развиваться после одного или нескольких событий видообразования. Например, ген фермента мыши трегалазы будет иметь ортолога у людей, который также производит фермент трегалазу. Однако эти гены и их продукты будут, по крайней мере, частично отличаться по последовательности из-за лет эволюционных изменений с момента последнего общего предка мыши и человека. Поэтому они являются ортологами в одном и том же семействе генов. Третий общий термин, используемый в семействах генов, — гомологичные гены. Этот термин шире и применяется ко всем связанным генам в семействе генов. Кроме того, термин суперсемейство иногда используется для обозначения очень больших групп генов и белков, которые демонстрируют достаточную гомологию, чтобы иметь общее происхождение. Для этих больших семейств группировка может основываться на механистических сходствах для определения области действия группы. Вследствие их общего генетического начала гены в семействе генов обычно выполняют связанные функции. Например, суперсемейство иммуноглобулинов включает большое количество генов, которые кодируют как растворимые, так и поверхностные белки клеток, участвующие в иммунологических реакциях, таких как связывание или адгезия клеток. Ключевой особенностью этого семейства является то, что члены имеют общий домен, называемый иммуноглобулиновой складкой, который имеет решающее значение для их функции.

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...
