Glucosephosphate-isomerase expression in a tetrapioid fish, Moxostoma lachneri (Cypriniformes, Catostomidae): evidence for ‘retetraploidization’?

Abstract

Glucosephosphate-isomerase isozymes in the tetraploid catostomid Moxostoma lachneri are controlled by four gene loci. The expression of two Gpi-A loci and two Gpi-B loci in this species contrasts with the expression of two Gpi-A loci and one Gpi-B locus in the remainder of the genus. The additional Gpi-B locus expressed in M. lachneri may be the result of a reactivation event or post-polyploidization tandem duplication rather than the continuous expression of originally duplicated loci.
