Ubiquitin is one of the most conserved proteins known to date, and the individual units within a number of poly-u genes are significantly more similar to each other than would be expected if each unit evolved independently. It has been proposed that the rather striking similarity among poly-u monomers in some lineages is caused by a series of homogenization events. Here we report the sequences of the polyubiquitin-C (Ubc) genes in two mouse strains. Analysis of these sequences, as well as those of the previously reported Chinese hamster and rat poly-u genes, supports the assertion that the homogenization of the ubiquitin-C gene in rodents is due to unequal crossing-over events. The sequence divergence of noncoding DNA was used to estimate the frequency of unequal crossing-over events (6.3 x 10-5 events per generation) in the Ubc gene, as well as to provide evidence of apparent selection in the poly-u gene.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2023-07-26T12:01:34Z","volume":55,"extern":"1","type":"journal_article","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0022-2844"]},"status":"public","page":"202 - 210","external_id":{"pmid":["12107596"]},"user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","acknowledgement":"We are thankful to J.A.
