The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region of teleosts harbors a tight cluster of theclass IAgenes and several other genes directly involved in class I antigen presentation. Moreover, the dichotomous haplotypic lineages (termed d- and N- lineages) of the proteasome subunit beta genes,PSMB8andPSMB10, are present in this region of the medaka,Oryzias latipes. To understand the evolution of theOryziasMHC class I region at the nucleotide sequence level, we analyzed bacterial artificial chromosome clones covering the MHC class I region containing the d- lineage ofOryzias luzonensisand the d- and N- lineages ofOryzias dancena.Comparison among these three elucidated sequences and the published sequences of the d- and N- lineages ofO. latipesindicated that the order and orientation of the encoded genes were completely conserved among these five genomic regions, except for theclass IAgenes, which showed species-specific variation in copy number. ThePSMB8andPSMB10genes showed trans-species dimorphism. The remaining regions flanking thePSMB10,PSMB8, andclass IAgenes showed high degrees of sequence conservation at interspecies as well as intraspecies levels. Thus, the three independent evolutionary patterns under apparently distinctive selective pressures are recognized in theOryziasMHC class I region.
