In the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae and the med fly Ceratitis capitata previous studies have shown the existence of two Adh genes in each species. This observation, in combination with the former finding that various Drosophila species of virilis and repleta group encode two isozymes of ADH which are the result of a gene duplication, challenged us to address a scenario dealing with the evolutionary history of the Adh gene duplication in Tephritidae. In our lab we proceeded to the cloning and sequence analysis of Adh genes from more tephritid species, a prerequisite for further study of this issue. Here we show that phylogenetic trees produced from either the nucleotide or the amino acid sequences of 14 tephritid Adh genes consisted of two main clusters, with Adh sequences of the same ""type"" grouping together (i.e., Adh1 sequences form a cluster and Adh2 sequences form a second one), as expected if there was one duplication event before speciation within the family Tephritidae. We used the amount of divergence between the two isozymic forms of Adh of the species carrying both Adh1 and Adh2 genes to obtain an estimate of the age of the duplication event. Interestingly, our data again support the hypothesis that the duplication of an ancestral Adh single gene in the family Tephritidae occurred before the emergence of the genera Bactrocera and Ceratitis, thus suggesting that Adh duplication was based on a prespeciation rather than a postspeciation event that might have involved two independent duplication events, one in each of the two genera. |
