This expanded TOX subfamily likely took on new functions, including specific roles in the mammalian immune system.
However, the Drosophila genome is significantly smaller than that of the mosquito, at least in part due to loss of some introns [ 46 ] . Thus, it is possible that the CG12104-PA protein originated from an ancestral TOX family member, but has significantly diverged in Drosophila.
The C-terminal domains of TOX/ KIAA0808 and LOC244579/ TNRC9 are mildly to strongly basic respectively, while those of LCP1 and KIAA0737 are acidic.
Figure 1shows an alignment of the HMG-box region of TOX with HMG-box motifs found in seven other proteins representing the two major subfamilies of HMG-box proteins.
In general, the loss or gain of an intron represents a major genetic rearrangement and is a relatively rare event when compared with sequence changes [ 35 ] . It is highly unlikely that an intron would arise at the same sequence position in different gene lineages, further supporting that the TOX family arose by gene duplication.
