The nucleotide diversity across 1705 bp of theG6pdgene is studied in 50Drosophila melanogasterand 12D. simulanslines. Our earlier report contrasted intraspecific polymorphism and interspecific differences at silent and replacement sites in these species. This report expands the number of European and African lines and examines the pattern of polymorphism with respect to the commonA/Ballozymes. InD. melanogasterthe silent nucleotide diversity varies 2.8-fold across localities. TheBallele sequences are two- to fourfold more variable than the derivedAallele, and differences between allozymes are twice as amongBalleles. There is strong linkage disequilibrium across theG6pdregion. In both species the level of silent polymorphism increases from the 5′ to 3′ ends, while there is no comparable pattern in level of silent site divergence or fixation. The neutral model is not rejected in either species. UsingD. yakubaas an outgroup, theD. melanogasterlineage shows a twofold greater rate of silent fixation, but less than half the rate of amino acid replacement. Lineage-specific differences in mutation fixation are inconsistent with neutral expectations and suggest the interaction of species-specific population size differences with both weakly advantageous and deleterious selection.
