The DNA sequences of the Adh genes of three members of the Drosophila
melanogaster species subgroup have been determined. This completes the Adh
sequences of the eight species of this subgroup. Two species, D. yakuba and
D. teissieri, possess processed Adh pseudogenes. In all of the species of
the subgroup, a gene of unknown function, Adhr, is located about 300 bp 3'
to Adh. Although this gene is experiencing a higher rate of synonymous
substitution than Adh, it is more constrained at the amino acid level.
Phylogenetic relationships between all eight members of the melanogaster
subgroup have been analyzed using a variety of methods. All analyses
suggested that the D. yakuba and D. teissieri pseudogenes have a single
common ancestor, rather than evolving independently in each species, and
that D. melanogaster is the sister species to D. simulans, D. sechellia,
and D. mauritiana. The evolutionary relationships of the latter three
species remain equivocal.
