• Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) are protein hormones from anterior pituitary
• GH and PRL show ~25% sequence identity and very similar 3D structure (4-helix bundle with up-up-down-down topology)
• Separate hormones in all vertebrates except cyclostomes; presumably arose by gene duplication
• GH promotes somatic growth; PRL stimulates lactation in mammals and has various actions in lower vertebrates
• Evolution in mammals shows (1) repeated duplications in some groups, and (2) variable (episodic) evolution rate
GH PRL
GROWTH HORMONE AND PROLACTIN
ORGANIZATION OF GH-LIKE GENES IN PRIMATES
Gene duplications gave varying families of GH-like genes in higher primates
PL = placental lactogen (= chorionic somatomammotropin, CS)
Human PL (85% sequence identity to hGH) expressed by placenta at high levels during pregnancy. GH-V (92% identity to hGH) expressed at modest levels during pregnancy.
GH gene clusters in NWM differ markedly from those in OWM/apes. Various factors, including phylogenetic analysis, indicate independent origins.
PRL locus contains a single gene in most mammals, including primates, but multiple duplications gave complex gene clusters in rodents and ruminants

GH AND ITS RECEPTOR

A homodimeric type 1 cytokine receptor
No evidence for duplication of GHR or PRLR in mammals, possibly because genes are large (~175 kb) compared with genes for GH and PRL (2-10 kb). Gene duplication giving ancestors of GHR and PRLR may have resulted from whole genome duplication early in vertebrate evolution

CONCLUSIONS
• In mammals GH and PRL genes underwent multiple duplications on at least 4 occasions, giving complex gene clusters. Corresponding duplications of receptor genes are not seen.
• Evolution of GH and PRL shows prolonged periods of 'near stasis' and occasional episodes of rapid change. Evolution of their receptors also shows periods of rapid change, some of which correspond to those in the ligands, suggesting coevolution (e.g. human GH, ruminant PRL), others do not (e.g. armadillo GH, elephant PRL).
• GH gene duplications giving rise to placental lactogens etc occurred fairly late in primate evolution, independently in NWM and OWM/apes. Some substitutions occurring during the episodes of rapid evolution can be related to functional changes.

EVOLUTIONARY TREE FOR GHS AND PLS IN PRIMATESThe basis for species specificity: GH 171 H->D on branch to higher primates does not affect binding to receptor; Subsequent GHR 43 L->R on branch to OWM/apes prevents binding of non-primate GH, but not human GH. (Souza et al. 1995)

Gene duplications
A burst of rapid change followed divergence of prosimians, but preceded divergence of new-world and old-world monkeys, and GH gene duplications.

3D MODEL OF GH-Rc COMPLEX
human armadillo
Substitutions (yellow) are distributed in a non-random fashion. In human they are associated mainly with hormone-receptor interfaces, reflecting differences in specificity. In armadillo they occur mainly on the side away from the receptor and membrane, possibly reflecting interaction with another protein.

If GH acquired a second function, the importance of which fluctuated over time, each switch would lead to adaptation and additional substitutions. Repeated fluctuations would lead to substantial sequence change with relatively little change in function.
