Abstract We have isolated and sequenced cDNA clones containing the entire coding region
of both the chloroplast and cytosolic versions of phosphoglycerate kinase from
wheat. Comparison of these sequences reveals a higher than expected level of
similarity between the nucleic acids and encoded proteins. Analysis of this data
in relation to that for phosphoglycerate kinase sequences of mammals,
prokaryotes and yeasts suggests that the wheat genes have recombined. This has
resulted in the chloroplast and cytosolic kinases being more similar to each
other than would be expected if the chloroplast enzyme had evolved directly from
that of a prokaryotic progenitor.
