Genetic variability inCebus appella paraguayanus: Biochemical analysis of seven loci and variation in Glyoxalase I (E.C.4.4.1.5)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. An analysis of seven loci in Cebus apella paraguayanus showed that Glyoxalase I was polymorphic due the appearance of two alleles (GLO*2 and GLO*3) with frequencies of 0.955 and 0.045, respectively. Of the two alleles, GLO*2 was electrophoretically similar to the most common allele found in the human and Aotus. These results confirmed our previous findings in the same population sample showing that this subspecies has a very low genetic variation among New World primates.

“…However these results should be analyzed carefully because the number of animals sampled is small and so it might not express the actual variability occurring in natural populations. The species used as an outgroup, Alouatta belzebul, showed H=5.5%, almost of the same magnitude of that observed in S. midas midas and similar to results previously obtained for this species by SCHNEIDER et al (1991). The lowest H values found in neotropical monkeys were reported by FORMAN et al (1986) for Leontopithecus rosalia and SAMPAIO et al (1991) for Cebus apella paraguayanus.…”

“…For comparative purposes we used data on the same 20 loci studied here that had previously been obtained from two other species (Schneider et al, 1988Sampaio et al, 1991;Melo et al, 1992). The values for Cebus apella (1.5 k 1.1) were similar to those obtained for Callicebus, but they were somewhat higher (5.1 * 2.3) for Alouatta belzebul.…”

“…All the observed phenotypic distributions are in accordance with the expected ones, assuming diallelic models in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (Table 1) Four loci showed inter-population variation only (Table 2): malate dehydrogenase and did not show inter-populational variation. The genetic variability observed among the pithecines was compared with previous estimates of heterozygosity obtained for Alouatta belzebul (SCHNEIDER et al, 1991) and Cebus apella paraguayanus (SAMPAIO et al, 1991) (Table 3). The heterozygosities were re-estimated in order to match the same number and type of loci.…”
