The insect peripheral olfactory system comprises three major multigene families: the olfactory receptor (Or), the gustatory receptor (Gr), and the odorant-binding protein (OBP) families. Members of the latter family establish the first contact with the odorants, and thus constitute the first step in the chemosensory transduction pathway.[Results] Comparative analysis of the OBP family in 12 Drosophila genomes allowed the identification of 595 genes that encode putative functional and nonfunctional members in extant species, with 43 gene gains and 28 gene losses (15 deletions and 13 pseudogenization events). The evolution of this family shows tandem gene duplication events, progressive divergence in DNA and amino acid sequence, and prevalence of pseudogenization events in external branches of the phylogenetic tree. We observed that the OBP arrangement in clusters is maintained across the Drosophila species and that purifying selection governs the evolution of the family; nevertheless, OBP genes differ in their functional constraints levels. Finally, we detect that the OBP repertoire evolves more rapidly in the specialist lineages of the Drosophila melanogaster group (D. sechellia and D. erecta) than in their closest generalists.[Conclusion] Overall, the evolution of the OBP multigene family is consistent with the birth-anddeath model. We also found that members of this family exhibit different functional constraints, which is indicative of some functional divergence, and that they might be involved in some of the specialization processes that occurred through the diversification of the Drosophila genus.This work was funded by grant BFU2004-02253 from the Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica (Spain), and by grant 2005SGR00166 from Comissió Interdepartamental de Recerca i Innovació Tecnològica de Catalunya (Spain).Peer reviewedBioMed Central200820082007info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion23040 bytes1500290 bytes47104 bytes165777 bytes1308160 bytes111104 bytesapplication/vnd.ms-excelapplication/pdfapplication/vnd.ms-powerpointapplication/postscriptapplication/vnd.ms-powerpointapplication/vnd.ms-excelhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/3326reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
