Analysis of Adaptive Evolution and Coevolution of rbcL Gene in the Genus Hildenbrandia (Rhodophyta).

ABSTRACT: The adaptive evolution and coevolution of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) gene in the genus Hildenbrandia were studied based on phylogenetic tree construction and the physicochemical properties and the secondary structures of protein encoded by rbcL (Rubisco large subunit) were analyzed. The amino acids compositions and grand average of hydropathicity of freshwater H. rivularis and marine H. rubra were similar. Rubisco large subunit of Hildenbrandia was hydrophilic and the secondary structure was primarily composed of α-helixes and β-sheets, revealing the relatively stable structure of this protein. The predicted phosphorylation sites in H. rivularis and H. rubra were 33 and 36, respectively. N
