The terminin components are encoded by fast-evolving genes. The mean numbers of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site (dN values, represented as bars ±SD) for ver, cav, and moi increase dramatically with the increase of the evolutionary distance between D. melanogaster and each of the 11 Drosophila species used for comparison. The increases in dN values for Su(var)205 are significantly lower than those observed for ver, cav, and moi. dN values have been calculated using the ZRN98 method (Zhang et al. 1998). (sim) Drosophila simulans; (sec) Drosophila sechellia; (yak) Drosophila yakuba; (ere) Drosophila erecta; (ana) Drosophila ananassae; (pse) Drosophila pseudoobscura; (per) Drosophila persimilis; (wil) Drosophila willistoni; (moj) Drosophila mojavensis; (vir) Drosophila virilis; (gri) Drosophila grimshawi.
