Eight genes encoding protein disulphide isomerase (PDI)-like proteins in bread wheat were cloned and characterized and their genomic structure was compared with that of homoeologous genes isolated from other plant species. Fourteen wheat cDNA sequences of PDI-like genes were amplified and cloned; eight of them were relative to distinct PDI-like genes, whereas six corresponded to homoeologous sequences. Also, the genomic sequences of the eight non-homoeologous genes were amplified and cloned. Phylogenetic analysis, which included eight genes encoding PDI-like proteins and the gene encoding the typical PDI, assigned at least one of them to each of the eight major clades identified in the phylogenetic tree of the PDI gene family of plants. The close chromosome synteny between wheat and rice was confirmed by the location of the homoeologous genes of the PDI family in syntenic regions of the two species. Within the same phylogenetic group, a high level of conservation, in terms of sequence homology, genomic structure and domain organization, was detected between wheat and the other plant species. The high level of conservation of sequence and genomic organization within the PDI gene family, even between distant plant species, might be ascribed to the key metabolic roles of their protein products.

Abstract Members of the septin gene family are involved in cytokinesis and the organization of new growth in organisms as diverse as yeast, fruit fly, worm, mouse, and human. Five septin genes have been cloned and sequenced from the model filamentous fungus A. nidulans. As expected, the A. nidulans septins contain the highly conserved GTP binding and coiled-coil domains seen in other septins. On the basis of hybridization of clones to a chromosome-specific library and correlation with an A. nidulans physical map, the septins are not clustered but are scattered throughout the genome. In phylogenetic analysis most fungal septins could be grouped with one of the prototypical S. cerevisiae septins, Cdc3, Cdc10, Cdc11, and Cdc12. Intron-exon structure was conserved within septin classes. The results of this study suggest that most fungal septins belong to one of four orthologous classes.
