As an example, we show alignments and RNA folds of the four insect orthologs of 2R:11128979, which all adopt canonical, high-scoring stem-loop structures and collectively display patterns of nucleotide divergence characteristic of genuine miRNAs (preponderance of divergence within the loop, slightly less divergence along a nonconserved arm, and perfect conservation of a putative miRNA-encoding arm) (Figure 6).
To evaluate this possibility, orthologous protein pairs were identified between H. pylori and a more distantly related bacterium, C. jejuni [ 10 ] . These two species are close enough (both belong to the epsilon subdivision of proteobacteria) to ensure accurate identification of orthologs, but distant enough for substantial sequence divergence to have accumulated between orthologs.
These results are consistent with previous reports comparing the locations of genes in D. melanogaster with A. gambiae , which indicate that extensive genome rearrangement has occurred since the divergence of these two lineages [ 23, 31, 32].
Substantial divergence of the β-barrels seems to have occurred at a stage of evolution when the actual RNA polymerase activity resided in a ribozyme whose functioning was facilitated by a non-specific, RNA-binding protein cofactor.
Gene conversion homogenizes paralogous sequences, retarding their divergence, and consequently obscuring their antiquity.
