| Abstract: | We investigated evolutionary trends of the 5S ribosomal RNA gene in the house mouse, Mus musculus. First, we assessed the 5S cluster and copy numbers in eight laboratory strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The copy numbers in seven lines were estimated to be around 130-170 copies per cluster, with 63 copies in the remaining strain, implying that the copy number can change drastically and has been maintained under certain evolutionary constraints at similar to 140 copies. Second, we addressed the frequency of meiotic recombination mediated by the 5S cluster by performing a mating experiment with laboratory strains, and found that the 5S cluster did not accelerate recombination events. Third, we surveyed recombination events of the 5S-containing chromosome region in wild mice from the Japanese Islands, where the two subspecies lineages, M. m. castaneus and M. m. musculus, are historically mingled, and found that the influence of the 5S cluster on meiotic recombination was limited. Finally, we examined the nucleotide diversity of six genes in the neighboring regions of the 5S cluster and found reduced genetic diversity in the regions on both sides of the cluster, suggesting the involvement of either positive or background selection in the population-level sequence similarity of the 5S clusters. Therefore, the mouse 5S genes are considered to be evolving toward sequence similarity within a given cluster by certain intrachromosomal mechanisms and toward sharing of a specific 5S cluster within a population by certain selective processes. |
