The complete primary structure of the two hemoglobin components of the fur seal (Arctocephalus galapagoensis) is presented. The two components (HbI and HblI) occur in nearly equal amounts and have identical ]3-chains; whereas the two a-chains (aI/alI) differ by six exchanges Ile/Val, Met/Thr, Ser/Ala, Pro/His, Lys/Gly, and Thr/Ala at positions 10, 34, 35, 50, 78, and 131, respectively. The components were isolated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and were separated into the globin chains by RP-HPLC on a column of Nucleocil-C4. The sequences have been determined by Edman degradation in liquid-and gas-phase sequencer, using the native chains and tryptic peptides. The sequences compared with those of other Carnivora species and an adult human globin chains. An identical ]3-chain is found in fur seal and walrus, whereas larger differences were found between aI and aII compared to ]3-chains.

The complete primary structure of the major hemoglobin component from the adult European lynx (Lynx lynx) is presented. Presence of two hemoglobin components and three chains, beta A, beta B, and alpha, identified by gel electrophoresis. The purification of the globin chains achieved by ion-exchange chromatography. The globin chains were digested with trypsin. The peptide generated were purified by reversed-phase HPLC. Sequencing of the native chains up to 42 cycles and of the tryptic peptides were deduced by Edman degradation in liquid- and gas-phase sequencer. The primary structure established aligned with those of human Hb-A. The comparison of lynx globin chains with other representatives of the Felidae, lion, tiger, jaguar, leopard, and cat revealed high homology.

Building large trees by combining phylogenetic information: a complete phylogeny of the extant Carnivora (Mammalia)

1999

One way to build larger, more comprehensive phylogenies is to combine the vast amount of phylogenetic information already available. We review the two main strategies for accomplishing this (combining raw data versus combining trees), but employ a relatively new variant of the latter : supertree construction. The utility of one supertree technique, matrix representation using parsimony analysis (MRP), is demonstrated by deriving a complete phylogeny for all 271 extant species of the Carnivora from 177 literature sources. Beyond providing a ' consensus ' estimate of carnivore phylogeny, the tree also indicates taxa for which the relationships remain controversial (e.g. the red panda ; within canids, felids, and hyaenids) or have not been studied in any great detail (e.g. herpestids, viverrids, and intrageneric relationships in the procyonids). Times of divergence throughout the tree were also estimated from 74 literature sources based on both fossil and molecular data. We use the phylogeny to show that some lineages within the Mustelinae and Canidae contain significantly more species than expected for their age, illustrating the tree's utility for studies of macroevolution. It will also provide a useful foundation for comparative and conservational studies involving the carnivores.
