摘要

Increasingly, studies or genes and genomes are indicating that considerable horizontal transfer has occurred between prokaryotcs. Extensive horizontal transfer has occurred for operational genes (those involved in housekeeping), whereas informational genes (those involved in transcription, translation, and related processes) are seldmly horizontally transferred. Through phylogenctic analy- Sis of six complete prokaryotic genomes and the identification of 312 sets or orthologous genes present in all six genomesi, we tested two theories describing the temporal flow of horizontal trensfer. We show that operational genes have been horizon. tally transferred continuously since the divergence of the prokaryotes, rather than having been exchanged in one, or a few, massive events that occurred early in the evolution of prokaryotes. In agreement with earlier studies, we found that differences in rates of evolution between operational and informational genes are minimal, suggesting that factors other than rate of evolution are responsible for the observed differ- ences in horizontal transfer. We propose that a major factor in the more frequent horizontal transfer of operational genes is that informational genes are typically members of large, complex systems, whereas operational genes are not, thereby making horizontal transfer of informational gene products
