DNA sequencing shows that the first exon of this human phosphofructo-kinase gene is identical in length and highly homologous in sequence to that of a rabbit phosphofructo-kinase gene. Two amino acid replacements are indicated, an Arg-->Lys and a Val-->Ile at positions9 and 13, respectively. Eleven base substitutions, 8 of them silent, are identified. Surprisingly, at ten ofthese sites, complete bias for A's and T's in the human gene and C's and G's in the rabbit gene are seen.Strong conservation is also observed in the 5’untranslated region and for the first 15 base pairs in theintron. All the nine variant nucleotides in these regions are, again, A's and T's in the human gene and G'sand C's in the rabbit gene. The unit evolutionary period of change between the first exon of rabbit andhuman phosphofructokinase genes is estimated as 2.3 million years at silent sites and 15.6 million yearsat replacement sites.
