Abstract

Aim. To carry out a comparison analysis of nucleotide sequences for the cytochrome P450 2E1 protein ortologs genes and reestablish the connection of gene evolution with nucleotide content. Methods. In silico: BLAST, ClustalW, MEGA4, PHP. Results. A general phylogeny of CYP2E1 genes is described. The most affinity is found for human translated sequences with Pan troglodytes. The transition C > T is the most often, it occurs in introns by 2.6 times more than in exons. The correlation of keto-amino skew of CYP2E1 genes and evolution age of species is stated. Conclusions. The analysis carried out in the paper allows us to assume that a common ancestor of the CYP2E1 protein isoform lived before the divergence between rodent and Primates orders, i.e. 70 million years ago. The single nucleotide substitution is accumulated in introns during evolution.
Keywords: cytochrome Р450 2Е1, CYP2E1, transition, phylogeny, nucleotide composition skew
