Molecular Details of the Mutation
The P450 chimeric gene CYP337B3 arose from unequal crossing-over between two parental P450 genes CYP337B2 and CYP337B1 . CYP337B3 can metabolize pyrethroids in vitro. Neither parental enzyme has the ability to metabolize pyrethroids in vitro. Sequence analysis revealed a distinct CYP337B3 allele (CYP337B3v2) in the Pakistani population and three distinct alleles in the Chinese populations (CYP337B3v2 CYP337B3v3 CYP337B3v4) that differ from the Australian allele (CYP337B3v1) by a number of synonymous and non-synonymous SNPs in addition to variability of the intron sequence and size. This variation may result from different crossing-over positions during recombination of the CYP337B1 and CYP337B2 parental genes with different alleles of CYP337B1 and CYP337B2 involved in the crossing-over.

@Parallelism - Resistance to pyrethroids as a result from the formation of a chimeric P450 gene CYP337B3 has arisen multiple times during evolution of the cotton bollworm H. armigera.
