Phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary rates for 36 alcohol
dehydrogenases (ADHs) from vertebrates and plants are described, with ADHs
from fission yeast and from baker's yeasts as outgroups. Vertebrate
sequences include 15 mammalian, 2 avian, and 1 amphibian ADH, as well as
one sequence deduced from a human pseudogene. Plant ADH sequences include 1
from a gymnosperm (loblolly pine) and 16 from angiosperms, in which 9
sequences are from monocots and 7 are from dicots. Phylogenetic analysis
shows that ADHs from vertebrates and from plants are classified into two
distinct groups, and the latter group is further divided into angiosperm
and gymnosperm ADHs. Among three classes of vertebrate ADHs, class I and II
ADHs are most closely related and evolved at much faster rates than did
class III ADHs. The gymnosperm ADH has evolved more slowly than any
angiosperm ADH. However, ADHs within both of the vertebrate classes I and
II and class III groups have similar evolutionary rates, as do most of the
ADHs within the angiosperm group. The rate of amino acid replacement for
the vertebrate and plant ADHs is approximately 0.3-0.6 x 10(-9)/site/year.
