Evolution of mitochondrial genomes in Baikalian amphipods Abstract. This mechanism is not present in the nucleus and is enabled by multiple copies of mtDNA present in mitochondria. The architecture of mitochondrial genomes also may provide additional information on the mechanisms of evolution … 1997, 387: 493-497. Plant Cell. They sequenced the 16,927-nucleotide mitochondrial genome of Tarsius bancanus, and acquired complete mitochondrial genome sequences for nine other primates and 13 non-primate mammals from public databases. A notable example is the replacement of an original multi-subunit bacteria-like RNA polymerase (inherited from the proto-mitochondrial ancestor and still encoded in certain jakobid - but no other - mitochondrial genomes) by a single-subunit bacteriophage T3/T7-like RNA polymerase, which directs mitochondrial transcription in virtually all eukaryotes [24]. Plant mitochondrial genomes exhibit unique evolutionary patterns. The mitochondrial genome encodes essential components for both of these processes [8,9]. Google Scholar. Yet mitochondrial genome evolution has taken radically different pathways in diverse eukaryotic lineages, and the organelle itself is increasingly viewed as a genetic and functional mosaic, with the bulk of the mitochondrial proteome having an evolutionary origin outside Alphaproteobacteria. Amphipods (Crustacea) of Lake Baikal are a very numerous and diverse group of invertebrates generally believed... Background. Curr Opin Genet Dev. Am Nat. Selected References These references are in PubMed. Weigert A(1), Golombek A(2), Gerth M(3), Schwarz F(4), Struck TH(5), Bleidorn C(6). PubMed Central  Mitochondrial tRNA genes have different sequences from the nuclear tRNAs but lookalikes of mitochondrial tRNAs have been found in the nuclear chromosomes with high sequence similarity. Finally, because the Rickettsia genome sequence is so highly reduced and the organism itself is an obligate intracellular parasite, this particular genome sequence does not readily address questions about the original gene complement that the mitochondrial ancestor would have possessed when it was still a free-living α-proteobacterium. Author information: (1)The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida, St. Augustine, FL 32080, USA. In 1987 Rebecca Louise Cann, Mark Stoneking, and Allan Charles Wilson published "Mitochondrial DNA and Human Evolution" in the journal Nature.The authors compared mitochondrial DNA from different human populations worldwide, and from those comparisons they argued that all human populations had a common ancestor in Africa around 200,000 years ago. Gray MW, Lang BF: Transcription in chloroplasts and mitochondria: a tale of two polymerases. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of these two studies is the eukaryote-specific fraction of the yeast mitochondrial proteome and the implication that "a large number of novel mitochondrial genes were recruited from the nuclear genome to complement the remaining genes from the bacterial ancestor" [34]. These emerging parallels support the view that mitochondrial and nuclear genomes have evolved in concert throughout much, if not most, of the evolutionary history of the domain Eukarya. 2000, 408: 354-357. Whereas the issue of how the eukaryotic cell arose remains controversial [8,9], current genomic data do allow us to make a number of reasonably compelling inferences about how mitochondria themselves originated and have since evolved. In S. cerevisiae, some 423 proteins (393 specified by the nuclear genome) have been annotated as putatively encoding mitochondrial proteins [32,33]. |, Phylogenetics, Phylogenomics, and Systematics, Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). Moreover, mitochondria evolved a unique mechanism which maintains mtDNA integrity through degradation of excessively damaged genomes followed by replication of intact/repaired mtDNA.

Furthermore, the data indicate that the lineages leading to the mouse and rat may have diverged from each other as much as 35 million years ago. 2000, 10: 596-601. 2000, 3: 404-411. However, its nuclear 18S gene is highly conserved, which suggests that rapid evolution is limited to its mitochondrial genome. The remaining 14 genes are claimed to be "strong candidates for ancient gene transfers from α-proteobacteria to nuclear genomes" [34].

A number of specific and general insights into mitochondrial genome evolution follow from these data. We present a framework for future experimental characterization of the impact of specific mutations in the function, physiology, and in … The adaptive evolution of the mammalian mitochondrial genome BMC Genomics. By this approach, Marcotte et al. Gray MW, Burger G, Lang BF: Mitochondrial evolution. Annu Rev Genet. One aim of this Research Topic was to better understand the evolutionary processes that underlie mt genome diversity in animals and also other organisms (e.g., Nishimura et al. Mitochondria contain their own genome. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 29:3, p. … In particular, the two studies - which both consist fundamentally of similarity searches - identify three categories of yeast mitochondrial proteins (Figure 1): 'prokaryote-specific' (50-60% of the total), 'eukaryote-specific' (20-30%) and 'organism-specific', or 'unique' (about 20%). The origin and early evolution of mitochondria. Furthermore, genome sequencing shows that the mitochondrial genome (and therefore mitochondria per se) arose only once in evolution. Curr Op Microbiol 2004;7:528534. Much evidence supports the conclusion that the mitochondrial genome originated from within the (eu)bacterial [8,9,10], not the archaeal [11], domain of life. Mitofy Webserver Mitofy Download Mitofy Documentation Contact: Andy Alverson Citation: Alverson et al. Did it originate under initially anaerobic or aerobic conditions? Karlberg et al. 10.1086/303290. The complex I (nad) genes of the respiratory chain are one example of such loss. For example, whereas mitochondria export ATP to the cytosol, Rickettsia uses the ATP it produces, and even imports ATP from the host during early stages in its development [29]. Andersson SGE, Zomorodipour A, Andersson JO, Sicheritz-Ponten T, Alsmark UC, Podowski RM, Naslund AK, Eriksson AS, Winkler HH, Kurland CG: The genome sequence of Rickettsia prowazekii and the origin of mitochondria. 10.1073/pnas.96.16.9190. Early land plant mitochondrial genomes (chondromes) might have captured important changes of mitochondrial genome evolution when photosynthetic eukaryotes colonized land in a unprecedented scale, and thus deserve special attention in investigation of plant mitochondrial genomes. We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of Citrullus lanatus (watermelon: 379,236 nt) and Cucurbita pepo (zucchini: 982,833 nt)--the two smallest characterized … The mitochondrial genome of vertebrates contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a control region (CR) [].Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been widely used as molecular markers in taxonomy, population genetics, phylogenetics and evolutionary analysis due to its short length (15 − 17 k bp), maternal inheritance, fast rate of evolution… Therefore, more scientists study the evolution of organisms based on mitochondrial genome sequences. In Felidae, approximately 14 mitochondrial genomes from 2 subfamilies have been sequenced, and the mtDNA sequences are publicly available, enabling phylogenetic analysis. Curr Opin Microbiol. To date, there are only a few known complete mitochondrial genomes for the labrid family (no more than 8 species) [6, 20, 21]. Third, mitochondria form a monophyletic assemblage to the exclusion of bacterial species in phylogenetic reconstructions using concatenated protein sequences [8,9,25,27,28] as well in small-subunit rRNA trees [12]. In contrast, two slowly evolving Silene mitochondrial genomes are smaller than average for angiosperms. PubMed Google Scholar. [35] estimated that there are about 630 mitochondrial proteins in yeast (10% of its coding information). Summary. Curr Opin Struct Biol.

Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies present a unique opportunity to explore mitochondrial (mt) genome evolution. Springer Nature. Since then, mitochondrial genomes have undergone a drastic size reduction by gene transfer to the nucleus [ 6, 7 ], although they evolved in a large variety of sizes and gene content across species [ 8, 9 ]. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been studied intensely for “its own” merit. Sequencing of mitochondrial genomes is a relatively feasible way for obtaining a set of gene sequences suitable for robust phylogenetic inferences. Roger AJ: Reconstructing early events in eukaryotic evolution. They also have abundant non-tandem repeats often including pairs of large repeats which cause isomerization of the genome by recombination, and numerous repeats of up to several hundred base pairs that recombine only when the genome … In both cases, certain clades (such as animals plus fungi or red plus green algae) have become robust, although connections among these clades and other eukaryotic species or groups cannot yet be precisely resolved. Mitochondrial DNA may also lose genes whose functions are substituted for by unrelated genes encoded in the nucleus. Lang BF, Seif E, Gray MW, O'Kelly CJ, Burger G: A comparative genomics approach to the evolution of eukaryotes and their mitochondria. System I requires a set of proteins including mitochondrion-encoded CcmA, … Here, the N. nucifera mitochondrial genome was sequenced using single molecule real-time sequencing technology (SMRT), and the mitochondrial genome map was constructed after de novo assembly and … Conversely, there may be complete loss of particular mitochondrial genes (and hence the corresponding functions) without functional complementation by nuclear genes. 10.1093/nar/27.8.1767.

Moreover, while several animal groups are relatively conservative in terms of their mt genome content and organization, recent studies revealed that some groups exhibit an astonishing diversity in mt chromosome form and number as well as coding content and organization. While it is easy to understand why yeast was the organism of choice for these initial explorations, we would argue that we very much need genomic data from a range of other eukaryotes to address questions about the origin of the mitochondrial proteome. numerous mitochondrial genomes in animal available in GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ. plast genome in the course of evolution, con-stituting part of the complement of “promis-cuous” chloroplast DNA sequences that com-prise about 1% of this plant mitochondrial genome (16). In animals, the mitochondrial genome is typically a single circular chromosome that is approximately 16 kb long and has 37 genes. 10.1126/science.283.5407.1476. Several hypotheses as to why organelles retain their genomes have been put forward. For example, a gene encoding ribosomal protein S3 in S. cerevisiae mtDNA was only identified recently through the analysis of sophisticated multiple alignments that included sequences from a large number of less highly derived ascomycetes and lower fungi [38]. 4 ). 2000, 10: 359-365. Curr Opin Genet Dev. Articles, Editorial on the Research Topic Evolution of Mitochondrial Genomes. nov), Plectoderini sp. We explored 1011 S. cerevisiae sequenced isolates [] to investigate the intraspecific mitochondrial genome diversity and evolution.Since mitochondrial genomes include variable long AT-rich intergenic regions that are difficult to compare, we first focused on the eight mitochondrial coding DNA sequences … However, almost all studies of human evolution based on mtDNA sequencing have been confined to the control region, which constitutes less than 7% of the mitochondrial genome. Evol., 02 December 2020 The genome of a male H. comes individual was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. nov and Peltatavertexalis horizontalis sp. 10.1146/annurev.genet.33.1.351. In particular, no shared derived traits (such as gene order) are apparent that specifically link mitochondrial and R. prowazekii genomes to the exclusion of other bacterial genomes. 1067 - 1079 CrossRef View Record in Scopus Google Scholar J Mol Evol. Microbiol Mol Biol Rev. Animal mitochondria have their own genome (mtDNA), which is typically described as small (~16 kb), circular and maternally inherited with 37 genes, i.e., 13 for protein-coding genes involved in ATP production, and 22 for transfer RNAs and two for ribosomal RNAs.

Overall, this Research Topic aimed in elucidating the genetic, life history, and ecological factors that contribute to the evolutionary dynamics of mt genomes in animals and other organisms. Its role for the function of the cell and the organism remains a fertile field, its origin and evolution is an indispensable part of the evolution of life and its interaction with the nuclear DNA is among the most important cases of genome synergism and co-evolution. 1999, 96: 9190-9195. Martin W, Herrmann RG: Gene transfer from organelles to the nucleus: how much, what happens, and why?. Trends Microbiol. The first is that ATP production, coupled to electron transport, and translation of mitochondrial proteins represent the essence of mitochondrial function: these functions are common to all mitochondrial genomes and can be traced unambiguously and directly to an α-proteobacterial ancestor. Indeed, some characters, such as atypical secondary structures of transfer RNAs, which have been consistently found in nematodes, insects, spiders, mites and ticks, have potential value to decipher the phylogeny and evolution of animals at a higher level (class, order or family). Comparison of this sequence with those of other, substantially different α-proteobacterial genomes (such as the 8.7 megabase (Mb) genome of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and the genomes of photosynthetic α-proteobacteria such as Rhodobacter) will undoubtedly provide a clearer picture of the metabolic versatility with which the proto-mitochondrion might have been endowed. There are several groups of species in which the two tRNA … 10.1016/S0966-842X(98)01312-2. Gray MW: Rickettsia, typhus and the mitochondrial connection. Privacy FROM BACTERIAL GENOME TO VESTIGE. Among the many complete bacterial genome sequences that are now available, that of Rickettsia prowazekii [27] (1,111,523 bp) stands out as the 'most mitochondrial'. Plant Physiol. Mitochondrial genome evolution between F. tricinctum and F. avenaceum is mostly driven by two types of mobile genetic elements, implicated in genome polymorphism. Division of the yeast mitochondrial proteome into different categories according to inferred evolutionary origin. 1. Gray MW: Evolution of organellar genomes. Because no mtDNA-encoded homologs of these genes are currently known, however, the formal possibility exists that some of them (for instance, those encoding mitochondrial heat-shock proteins) have arisen by lateral gene transfer at a separate time from the mitochondrial endosymbiosis [37]. Sequencing has also shown that mitochondrial genomes have, to variable extents, undergone a streamlining process ("reductive evolution" [20]), leading to a marked loss of coding capacity compared to that of their closest eubacterial relatives. All authors contributed to the article and approved the submitted version. Part of Recent results from ancestral (minimally derived) protists testify to the tremendous diversity of the mitochondrial genome in various eukaryotic lineages, but also reinforce the view that mitochondria, descendants of an endosymbiotic α-Proteobacterium, arose only once in evolution.

By comparison, some other protist mtDNAs, most fungal, and all animal mtDNAs are highly derived, having diverged away from the ancestral pattern exemplified by R. americana mtDNA. First, although the R. americana mitochondrial and R. prowazekii DNAs are both "stunning examples of highly derived genomes" [27], it is clear that they are the products of independent processes of reductive evolution, as are the genomes of many other bacterial pathogens. View all Our pairwise comparison of placozoan mtDNAs (omitting nonconserved mitochondrial ORFs) revealed the existence of 14 placozoan mitochondrial gene sections (named A–N in fig. Many transferred endosymbiont genes may simply have diverged too far in sequence to be identified as prokaryotic, let alone specifically α-proteobacterial. Ancient freshwater lakes are the birthplaces of very diverse and mostly endemic biota. Marcotte EM: Computational genetics: finding protein function by nonhomology methods. and Paracatonidia sp., were sequenced for the first time through next-generation sequencing. Rather, the two genome types must have shared a common free-living ancestor that presumably had a much larger gene content, with separate processes of genome reduction ensuing in the two descendant lineages [8,12]. 4 ). Furthermore, the data indicate that the lineages leading to the mouse and rat may have diverged from each other as much as 35 million years ago. Restricting our discussion to mtDNA, we may ask ourselves: Why a mitochondrial genome? and Paracatonidia sp., were sequenced for the first time through next-generation sequencing. 1998, 118: 9-17.

Lang BF, Burger G, O'Kelly CJ, Cedergren R, Golding BG, Lemieux C, Sankoff D, Turmel M, Gray MW: An ancestral mitochondrial DNA resembling a eubacterial genome in miniature. Mitochondrial gene content varies widely, from a high of 67 protein-coding genes in R. americana mtDNA to only three in the mitochondrial genome of apicomplexans [8,9], a group of strictly parasitic protists (specific relatives of dinoflagellates) including such organisms as Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria. Certainly, there are functions (one likely candidate being protein import, mediated by the TOM and TIM protein translocases) that must have been acquired by mitochondria subsequent to the initial endosymbiosis event and that were instrumental in transforming the proto-mitochondrion into an integrated cell organelle. Evolution of Mitochondrial Genomes Animal mitochondria have their own genome (mtDNA), which is typically described as small (~16 kb), circular and maternally inherited with 37 genes, i.e., 13 for protein-coding genes involved in ATP production, and 22 for transfer RNAs and two for ribosomal RNAs. Cookies policy. Several observations support this contention [8,9,10]. 1999, 9: 678-687. Second, in a number of cases, mitochondrial protein-coding clusters retain the gene order of their bacterial homologs, but these clusters exhibit mitochondrion-specific deletions that are most parsimoniously explained as having occurred in a common ancestor of mitochondrial genomes, subsequent to its divergence from the bacterial ancestor. [34] employed similarity searches and phylogenetic reconstructions to examine the evolutionary affiliation of these proteins.

Animal mitochondrial DNA is a small, extrachromosomal genome, typically ∼16 kb in size. J Eukaryot Microbiol. Curr Opin Microbiol. Over the past two decades, many complete mitochondrial genome sequences have been determined, and several recent surveys have summarized various aspects of mitochondrial genome structure, gene content, organization and expression [13,14,15,16]. Strictly speaking, we can only be certain of the 64 protein-coding genes of assigned function in R. americana mtDNA [19] as deriving directly from the mitochondrial endosymbiont. 1998, 46: 419-431. 10.1038/387493a0. The two newly sequenced mtDNAs revealed a patchy distribution of the two evolutionarily distinct systems, and prompted the authors to revise previously proposed scenarios for the evolution of cytochrome c maturation in this group. Differences in genetic code (e.g., nuclear DNA … The 51 mitochondrial genomes assembled in this study were compared with other genomes available in the NCBI nucleotide database (see details in S1 Appendix) for the different families.

First, in any particular mitochondrial genome (with few exceptions [26]), genes that have an assigned function are a subset of those found in R. americana mtDNA. Karlberg O, Canbäk B, Kurland CG, Andersson SGE: The dual origin of the yeast mitochondrial proteome. The availability of mitochondrial genome data from all placozoan genera and clades allowed us to conduct the first comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial gene order evolution in Placozoa. 10.1038/24094. But although it has been suggested that the approximately 215 [34] or 370 [35] prokaryote-specific yeast mitochondrial genes provide "an estimate of the number of genes contributed by the ancestral mitochondrial genome" [35], this value should be viewed with caution, for three reasons. The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Gray, M.W., Burger, G. & Lang, B.F. Complete sequences of numerous mitochondrial, many prokaryotic, and several nuclear genomes are now available. The cox1 sequence analysis indicates that elevated mitogenomic evolutionary rates are not shared by North-American conspecifics, which suggests a breakdown of cox1 barcoding in this species. Another aim of this Research Topic was to disentangle the phylogeny and evolution of some animal groups at a wide scale, using characters of mt genomes or complete mtDNA sequences. The protein coding genes have a similar A+T content (74.1%) but are distinguished by a high cytosine content at the third codon position. 10.1016/S0968-0004(98)01342-5. http://megasun.bch.umontreal.ca/ogmpproj.html, http://megasun.bch.umontreal.ca/People/lang/FMGP/FMGP.html, https://doi.org/10.1186/gb-2001-2-6-reviews1018. A final insight from mitochondrial genome sequencing is the emergence of striking parallels in phylogenetic trees separately reconstructed from genes encoded by nuclear DNA [7] and mtDNA [8,9]. The persistence of an auxiliary genome in the eukaryotic cell has been discussed at length: Although the progenitor genome underwent “reductive” evolution (mainly in metazoans), the mitochondrial genome still survives and works in almost all eukaryotes. NONADAPTIVE EVOLUTION OF MITOCHONDRIAL GENOME SIZE. These debates have posed such questions as the following: Did the mitochondrion arise at the same time as, or subsequent to, the rest of the eukaryotic cell? nov), Plectoderini sp. The overall rates of evolution of most of the mitochondrial genome of placentals are clocklike. The sequencing of the cloned Locusta migratoria mitochondrial genome has been completed. Adams KL, Daley DO, Qiu YL, Whelan J, Palmer JD: Repeated, recent and diverse transfers of a mitochondrial gene to the nucleus in flowering plants. Insights into the evolution of mitochondrial genome size from complete sequences of Citrullus lanatus and Cucurbita pepo (Cucurbitaceae). Hence, gastropod mitochondrial genomes constitute a good model system to study patterns, rates, and mechanisms of mitochondrial genome rearrangement. A second consideration is that although mitochondria and R. prowazekii exhibit very similar functional profiles with respect to ATP production (reflecting the common evolutionary origin of their electron transport chains), associated aspects of ATP utilization are quite different. This was a systematic survey of the rearrangement of the amphibian mitochondrial genome and its evolution. volume 2, Article number: reviews1018.1 (2001) This may be particularly true for yeast, which is an evolutionarily derived organism with a dramatically reduced set of genes, and in which the identification of even mtDNA-encoded genes is not always straightforward [14].
