  • Title: Evolution of two major chorion multigene families as inferred from cloned cDNA and protein sequences.
    Author: Jones CW, Rosenthal N, Rodakis GC, Kafatos FC.
    Journal: Cell; 1979 Dec; 18(4):1317-32. PubMed ID: 519771.
    Abstract:
    Complete or partial sequences are reported from six chorion cDNA clones of the silkmoth Antheraea polyphemus. The proteins encoded belong to the two major chorion protein classes, A and B, each of which is encoded by a multigene family. The sequence comparisons define some major features of the families and suggest how these genes may be evolving. Deletions and insertions might be involved in expanding or contracting internally repetitive regions. Sequence divergence is localized, thus defining sequence domains of distinct evolutionary properties and presumably distinct functions.
