Although cross-species comparisons and investigation of rates of sequence divergence are an efficient approach, the relationship between sequence divergence and functional conservation is not clear. Here, we use a comparative approach to examine questions of evolutionary rates and conserved function within the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) gene family in nematodes of the genus Caenorhabditis. In particular, we show that, in cases where the Caenorhabditis elegans ortholog shows a loss-of-function phenotype, G protein genes of C. elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae diverge on average three times more slowly than G protein genes that do not exhibit any phenotype when mutated in C. elegans, suggesting that genes with loss of function phenotypes are subject to stronger selective constraints in relation to their function in both species. Our results also indicate that selection is as strong on G proteins involved in environmental perception as it is on those controlling other important processes. Finally, using phylogenetic footprinting, we identify a conserved non-coding motif present in multiple copies in the genomes of four species of Caenorhabditis. The presence of this motif in the same intron in the gpa-1 genes of C. elegans, C. briggsae and Caenorhabditis remanei suggests that it plays a role in the regulation of gpa-1, as well as other loci."xsd:string |
