FIG. 1. Some key events in the evolution of hemoglobin genes. Three different phases are shown at increasing levels of resolution. The top three lines indicate that several contemporary genes may be derived from a common ancestral gene, and some may be descended from others, such as the suggested derivation of hemoglobin genes from a cytochrome b5 gene. The next set of lines illustrates the descent of hemoglobin genes in bacteria, fungi, and protists from a common ancestral globin gene, following the cladogram in ref. 7. Globin exons are darkly shaded boxes, introns are open boxes, and the FAD-binding domain is a lightly shaded box. The predicted or known position in the a-helical globin fold of the amino acid whose codon is interrupted or followed by an intron in the gene is shown above the intron, e.g., B5 is the amino acid at the fifth position of helix B. Although current data do not address whether the ancestral globin gene contained introns, it is clear that introns were present in the hemoglobin gene in the last common ancestor to plants and animals. The events depicted in the "Plants" section summarize the data and cladogram in ref. 8. Selected events in the evolution of invertebrate and vertebrate hemoglobin genes are shown in the "Animals" section. The dates and branching patterns are taken from refs. 6 and 8. The lightly shaded diamonds represent gene duplications, the striped circles represent speciation events. Representative contemporary examples of the hemoglobin genes in plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates are given at the bottom of the figure.

Regardless ofwhether the central intron plication leading to symbiotic versus nonsymbiotic hemoglobin was present early or inserted later, the sequence relationships genes preceded the separation of monocots from dicots, and overall gene structures argue strongly for an ancestral approximately 150 million years ago (see Fig. 1). To date the hemoglobin gene being present more than 1500 million years symbiotic hemoglobins have only been seen in dicots, not as ago, before the divergence of plants and animals. This model widely distributed as the model in the Fig. 1 predicts. However, should be subjected to a rigorous statistical test. If verified, it is clear that the presence of the nonsymbiotic hemoglobin then it follows that the first and third introns are at least as old gene preceded the separation of dicots and monocots by quite as the last common ancestor to plants and animals. some time.
