We investigated the evolutionary conservation of polyglutamine binding protein-1 (PQBP-1) among Vertebrata. PQBP-1s were highly conserved and shared the same domain features including a WW domain, a polar amino acid rich domain (PRD), a nuclear localization signal (NLS), and a C-terminal domain (CTD) among Eutheria, but not always among Vertebrata. PQBP-1s of Vertebrata contained a variable region in the middle portion corresponding to the position of PRD. The full form of PRD including both 7aa and DR/ER repeats was specific to Eutheria. PRD of non-eutherian Amniota was minimal. Amphibia had no PRD. The DR/ER repeat was solo in fishes. Agnatha PRD was also rich in polar amino acids, but contained no repetitive sequence. We investigated 3 polyQ-containing proteins known to interact with PQBP-1: BRN-2, Huntingtin, and ATAXIN-1, and showed a diverse nature of protein-protein interaction in Vertebrata. There appears to be no interaction between PQBP-1 and BRN-2, Huntingtin, or ATAXIN-1 in Amphibia, while the interaction between PQBP-1 and BRN-2 is expected to be conserved among Mammalia, and the interaction between PQBP-1 and Huntingtin or ATAXIN-1 depends on the lineage in Eutheria.
