We determined the nearly complete DNA sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (Crustacea: Malacostraca), one of the most ecologically and commercially important zooplankters in Antarctic waters. All of the genome sequences were purified by gene amplification using long polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the products were subsequently used as templates for either direct sequencing using a primer-walking strategy or nested PCR with crustacea-versatile primers. Although we were unable to determine a portion of the genome owing to technical difficulties, the sequenced position, 14,606 bp long, contained all of the 13 protein-coding genes, 19 of the 22 transfer RNA genes, and the large subunit as well as a portion of the small subunit ribosomal RNA genes. Gene rearrangement was observed for 3 transfer RNA genes (tRNACys, tRNATyr, and tRNATrp) and the 2 leucine tRNA genes. 相似文献

For the first step toward resolution of the higher-level relationships of the order Aulopiformes (Teleostei: Eurypterygii)
using longer DNA sequences, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence for Aulopus japonicus (Aulopodidae). The entire genome was purified by gene amplification using a long PCR technique, and the products were subsequently
used as templates for PCR with 63 fish-versatile and 3 species-specific primers that amplify contiguous, overlapping segments
of the entire genome. Direct sequencing of the PCR products demonstrated that the genome (16 653 base pairs [bp]) contained
the same 37 mitochondrial genes (2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, and 13 protein-coding genes) as found in other vertebrates,
with the gene order identical to that in typical vertebrates. Maximum-parsimony analysis using nucleotide sequences from the
concatenated 12 protein-coding genes (no third codon positions and excluding the ND6 gene) plus 22 tRNA genes (stem regions
only) from eight teleosts placed A. japonicus in a reasonable phylogenetic position; those from individual protein-coding genes and the concatenated 22 tRNA genes alone,
however, did not reproduce the expected phylogeny with few exceptions, probably owing to insufficient phylogenetic information
in these smaller data sets. This result suggests that further taxonomic sampling and sequencing efforts may clarify limits
and intra- and interrelationships of this morphologically and ecologically diverse group of fishes using mitochondrial genomic
(mitogenomic) data.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome was determined for a conger eel, Conger myriaster (Elopomorpha: Anguilliformes), using a PCR-based approach that employs a long PCR technique and many fish-versatile primers.
Although the genome [18,705 base pairs (bp)] contained the same set of 37 mitochondrial genes [two ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 22
transfer RNA (tRNA), and 13 protein-coding genes] as found in other vertebrates, the gene order differed from that recorded
for any other vertebrates. In typical vertebrates, the ND6, tRNAGlu, and tRNAPro genes are located between the ND5 gene and the control region, whereas the former three genes, in C. myriaster, have been translocated to a position between the control region and the tRNAPhe gene that are contiguously located at the 5′ end of the 12S rRNA gene in typical vertebrates. This gene order is similar
to the recently reported gene order in four lineages of birds in that the latter lack the ND6, tRNAGlu, and tRNAPro genes between the ND5 gene and the control region; however, the relative position of the tRNAPro to the ND6–tRNAGlu genes in C. myriaster was different from that in the four birds, which presumably resulted from different patterns of tandem duplication of gene
regions followed by gene deletions in two distantly related groups of organisms. Sequencing of the ND5–cyt b region in 11 other anguilliform species, representing 11 families, plus one outgroup species, revealed that the same gene
order as C. myriaster was shared by another 4 families, belonging to the suborder Congroidei. Although the novel gene orders of four lineages of
birds were indicated to have multiple independent origins, phylogenetic analyses using nucleotide sequences from the mitochondrial
12S rRNA and cyt b genes suggested that the novel gene orders of the five anguilliform families had originated in a single ancestral species.

Summary In S. cerevisiae four isoacceptor mitochondrial tRNAs for serine have been separated by reversed phase chromatography. At least two of these species are products of different genes. In this work the deletion mapping technique has been used to locate two genes for tRNAser. The gene for tRNAser previously localized in the oli I region of the mitochondrial genome has been found to code for tRNA
ser

, and another gene coding for tRNA
ser

has been detected in the region where most of other tRNA genes are found. Results of fine mapping experiments allowed to localize this gene in the proximity of the gene for tRNAarg. 相似文献

The complete mitogenome of Haliotis iris, an economically important shellfish endemic to New Zealand, was sequenced for the first time. The mitogenome was 17,131?base pairs (bp) in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and a control region. All 13 genes were initiated by the start codon ATG, except for nad5 (ATA). Two typical stop codons, TAA and TAG, were present. All of the tRNAs could be folded into typical cloverleaf secondary structures except tRNASer1 and tRNALys, which lacked a DHU stem and complete amino acid acceptor stem, respectively. The control region was 1132?bp in length and contained six AT tandem repeats. According to the gene order of the mitogenome, the 30 analysed Vetigastropoda species could be classified into three types—type I: over half of the studied species were very similar to the gastropod ancestral gene order, and the rearrangements occurred in five tRNAs; type II: eight species were found to be missing several tRNA genes; type III: Fissurellidae, Lepetodrilidae showed a large inverted fragment. 相似文献

The complete mitochondrial genome is of great importance for better understanding the genome-level characteristics and phylogenetic relationships among related species. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome DNA sequence of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) by 454 deep sequencing and Sanger sequencing approaches. The complete genome DNA was 15,824 bp in length and contained a typical set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and a putative control region (CR). Of 37 genes, twenty-three were encoded by the heavy strand (H-strand), while the other ones were encoded by light strand (L-strand). The gene order in the mitochondrial genome was largely identical to those obtained in most arthropods, although the relative position of gene tRNAHis differed from other arthropods. Among 13 protein-coding genes, three (ATPase subunit 6 (ATP6), NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1 (ND1) and ND3) started with a rare start codon ATT, whereas, one gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) ended with the incomplete stop codon TA. All 22 tRNAs could fold into a typical clover-leaf secondary structure, with the gene sizes ranging from 63 to 73 bp. The phylogenetic analysis based on 12 concatenated protein-coding genes showed that the molecular genetic relationship of 19 species of 11 genera was identical to the traditional taxonomy. 相似文献

Veneridae is a diverse, commercially important, and cosmopolitan family. Here we present the complete mitochondrial genome
of the hard clam Meretrix meretrix (Bivalvia: Veneridae). The entire mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of M. meretrix is 19,826 bp in length, and contains 37 genes including 12 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 23 tRNAs. All genes
are encoded on the heavy strand. In contrast to the typical animal mitochondrial genome, it lacks the protein-coding gene
ATP8, and has only one copy of the tRNASer gene, but three duplications of the tRNAGln, which is the first report among the present molluscan mtDNAs. We observed that the gene arrangement between M. meretrix and M. petechialis is same except one more tRNAGln gene in M. meretrix., and the sequence similarity is as high as 99%, indicating that M. petechialis and M. meretrix could be treated as a junior synonym of M. meretrix. Maximum Likelihood and Bayeslan analysis of 12 concatenated protein-coding amino acid sequences place the Unionidae as a
sister group to other bivalves, which reflects the general opinion that the Unionidae deverged very early in Bivalvia evolution. 相似文献

Background
Vertebrate mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are 16–18 kbp double-stranded circular DNAs that encode a set of 37 genes. The arrangement of these genes and the major noncoding region is relatively conserved through evolution although gene rearrangements have been described for diverse lineages. The tandem duplication-random loss model has been invoked to explain the mechanisms of most mitochondrial gene rearrangements. Previously reported mitogenomic sequences for geckos rarely included gene rearrangements, which we explore in the present study.Results
We determined seven new mitogenomic sequences from Gekkonidae using a high-throughput sequencing method. The Tropiocolotes tripolitanus mitogenome involves a tandem duplication of the gene block: tRNAArg, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4L, and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4. One of the duplicate copies for each protein-coding gene may be pseudogenized. A duplicate copy of the tRNAArg gene appears to have been converted to a tRNAGln gene by a C to T base substitution at the second anticodon position, although this gene may not be fully functional in protein synthesis. The Stenodactylus petrii mitogenome includes several tandem duplications of tRNALeu genes, as well as a translocation of the tRNAAla gene and a putative origin of light-strand replication within a tRNA gene cluster. Finally, the Uroplatus fimbriatus and U. ebenaui mitogenomes feature the apparent loss of the tRNAGlu gene from its original position. Uroplatus fimbriatus appears to retain a translocated tRNAGlu gene adjacent to the 5’ end of the major noncoding region.Conclusions
The present study describes several new mitochondrial gene rearrangements from Gekkonidae. The loss and reassignment of tRNA genes is not very common in vertebrate mitogenomes and our findings raise new questions as to how missing tRNAs are supplied and if the reassigned tRNA gene is fully functional. These new examples of mitochondrial gene rearrangements in geckos should broaden our understanding of the evolution of mitochondrial gene arrangements.Electronic supplementary material

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence contains useful information for phylogenetic analyses of metazoa. In this study, the
complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of sea cucumber Stichopus horrens (Holothuroidea: Stichopodidae: Stichopus) is presented. The complete sequence was determined using normal and long PCRs. The mitochondrial genome of Stichopus horrens is a circular molecule 16257 bps long, composed of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes.
Most of these genes are coded on the heavy strand except for one protein-coding gene (nad6) and five tRNA genes (tRNA
Ser(UCN)
, tRNA
Gln
, tRNA
Ala
, tRNA
Val
, tRNA
Asp
) which are coded on the light strand. The composition of the heavy strand is 30.8% A, 23.7% C, 16.2% G, and 29.3% T bases
(AT skew=0.025; GC skew=−0.188). A non-coding region of 675 bp was identified as a putative control region because of its
location and AT richness. The intergenic spacers range from 1 to 50 bp in size, totaling 227 bp. A total of 25 overlapping
nucleotides, ranging from 1 to 10 bp in size, exist among 11 genes. All 13 protein-coding genes are initiated with an ATG.
The TAA codon is used as the stop codon in all the protein coding genes except nad3 and nad4 that use TAG as their termination codon. The most frequently used amino acids are Leu (16.29%), Ser (10.34%) and Phe (8.37%).
All of the tRNA genes have the potential to fold into typical cloverleaf secondary structures. We also compared the order
of the genes in the mitochondrial DNA from the five holothurians that are now available and found a novel gene arrangement
in the mitochondrial DNA of Stichopus horrens. 相似文献

The crustacean isopod Armadillidium vulgare is characterized by an unusual ∼42-kb-long mitochondrial genome consisting of two molecules co-occurring in mitochondria:
a circular ∼28-kb dimer formed by two ∼14-kb monomers fused in opposite polarities and a linear ∼14-kb monomer. Here we determined
the nucleotide sequence of the fundamental monomeric unit of A. vulgare mitochondrial genome, to gain new insight into its structure and evolution. Our results suggest that the junction zone between
monomers of the dimer structure is located in or near the control region. Direct sequencing indicated that the nucleotide
sequences of the different monomer units are virtually identical. This suggests that gene conversion and/or replication processes
play an important role in shaping nucleotide sequence variation in this mitochondrial genome. The only heteroplasmic site
we identified predicts an alloacceptor tRNA change from tRNAAla to tRNAVal. Therefore, in A. vulgare, tRNAAla and tRNAVal are found at the same locus in different monomers, ensuring that both tRNAs are present in mitochondria. The presence of
this heteroplasmic site in all sequenced individuals suggests that the polymorphism is selectively maintained, probably because
of the necessity of both tRNAs for maintaining proper mitochondrial functions. Thus, our results provide empirical evidence
for the tRNA gene recruitment model of tRNA evolution. Moreover, interspecific comparisons showed that the A. vulgare mitochondrial gene order is highly derived compared to the putative ancestral arthropod type. By contrast, an overall high
conservation of mitochondrial gene order is observed within crustacean isopods. 相似文献

The scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus) is an endangered bird species on the IUCN Red List with the estimated global population of less than 2,500 individuals at
present. In the present study, we studied the complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and the phylogenetic of M. squamatus by PCR amplification and GenBank data. The genome was 16,595 bp in length and contained 37 genes (13 protein coding genes,
two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs) and a non-coding control region (D-loop). All protein-coding genes of M. squamatus mtDNA start with a typical ATG codon, except ND1, COI, and COII uses GTG as their initial codon. TAA, T- and TAG as the terminate
codon occurred very commonly in the sequence. All tRNA genes can be folded into canonical cloverleaf secondary structure except
for tRNASer (AGY) and tRNALeu (CUN), which lose ‘‘DHU’’ arm. The genome sequences had been deposited in GenBank under accession number HQ833701. Based
on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of mtDNA genes (Cyt b and D-loop), we reconstructed phylogenetic trees and discussed
the phylogenetic relationships among ten Anatidae species. The results are different from the present classification, and
we support Lophodytes cucullatus and Mergullus albellus to be members of the genus Mergus. 相似文献

We have begun a systematic search for potential tRNA genes in wheat mtDNA, and present here the sequences of regions of the wheat mitochondrial genome that encode genes for tRNAAsp (anticodon GUC), tRNAPro (UGG), tRNATyr (GUA), and two tRNAsSer (UGA and GCU). These genes are all solitary, not immediately adjacent to other tRNA or known protein coding genes. Each of the encoded tRNAs can assume a secondary structure that conforms to the standard cloverleaf model, and that displays none of the structural aberrations peculiar to some of the corresponding mitochondrial tRNAs from other eukaryotes. The wheat mitochondrial tRNA sequences are, on average, substantially more similar to their eubacterial and chloroplast counterparts than to their homologues in fungal and animal mitochondria. However, an analysis of regions 150 nucleotides upstream and 100 nucleotides downstream of the tRNA coding regions has revealed no obvious conserved sequences that resemble the promoter and terminator motifs that regulate the expression of eubacterial and some chloroplast tRNA genes. When restriction digests of wheat mtDNA are probed with 32P-labelled wheat mitochondrial tRNAs, <20 hybridizing bands are detected, whether enzymes with 4 bp or 6 bp recognition sites are used. This suggests that the wheat mitochondrial genome, despite its large size, may carry a relatively small number of tRNA genes. 相似文献

Odontamblyopus rubicundus is a species of gobiid fishes, inhabits muddy-bottomed coastal waters. In this paper, the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of O. rubicundus is reported. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence is 17119 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, a control region and an L-strand origin as in other teleosts. Most mitochondrial genes are encoded on H-strand except for ND6 and seven tRNA genes. Some overlaps occur in protein-coding genes and tRNAs ranging from 1 to 7 bp. The possibly nonfunctional L-strand origin folded into a typical stem-loop secondary structure and a conserved motif (5′-GCCGG-3′) was found at the base of the stem within the tRNA Cys gene. The TAS, CSB-2 and CSB-3 could be detected in the control region. However, in contrast to most of other fishes, the central conserved sequence block domain and the CSB-1 could not be recognized in O. rubicundus, which is consistent with Acanthogobius hasta (Gobiidae). In addition, phylogenetic analyses based on different sequences of species of Gobiidae and different methods showed that the classification of O. rubicundus into Odontamblyopus due to morphology is debatable. 相似文献

The initiator methionine transfer RNA (tRNAf
Met) gene was identified on a 347 bpEco RI-Hind III DNA fragment of the potato mitochondrial (mt) genome. The sequence of this gene shows 1 to 7 nucleotide differences with the other plant mt tRNAsf
Met or tRNAf
Met genes studied so far. Whereas the tRNAf
Met gene is present as a single copy in the potato mt genome, a tRNA pseudogene corresponding to 60% of a complete tRNA (from the 5 end to the variable region) and located at 105 nucleotides upstream of the tRNAf
Met gene on the opposite strand was shown to be repeated at least three times. Furthermore, the physical environment of the tRNAf
Met gene in the mt genome is very different among plants, which suggests that the tRNAf
Met gene region has often been implicated in recombination events of plant mt genomes leading to important rearrangements in gene order. 相似文献

Summary The nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial origin of light-strand replication and the five tRNA genes surrounding it were determined for three marsupials. The region was found to be rearranged, leaving only the tRNATyr gene at the same position as in placental mammals andXenopus. Distribution of the same rearranged genotype among two marsupial families indicates that the events causing the rearrangements took place in an early marsupial ancestor. The putative mitochondrial light-strand origin of replication in marsupials contains a hairpin structure similar to other vertebrate origins and, in addition, extensive flanking sequences that are not found in other vertebrates. Sequence comparisons among the marsupials as well as placentals indicate that the tRNATyr gene has been evolving under more constraints than the other tRNA genes.Deceased July 21, 1991 相似文献

Given the commercial and ecological importance of the Asian paddle crab, Charybdis japonica, there is a clearly need for genetic and molecular research on this species. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial
genome sequence of C. japonica, determined by the long-polymerase chain reaction and primer walking sequencing method. The entire genome is 15,738 bp in
length, encoding a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, plus the putative
control region, which is typical for metazoans. The total A+T content of the genome is 69.2%, lower than the other brachyuran
crabs except for Callinectes sapidus. The gene order is identical to the published marine brachyurans and differs from the ancestral pancrustacean order by only
the position of the tRNA
His
gene. Phylogenetic analyses using the concatenated nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes strongly
support the monophyly of Dendrobranchiata and Pleocyemata, which is consistent with the previous taxonomic classification.
However, the systematic status of Charybdis within subfamily Thalamitinae of family Portunidae is not supported. C. japonica, as the first species of Charybdis with complete mitochondrial genome available, will provide important information on both genomics and molecular ecology of
the group. 相似文献

Apicomplexans possess three translationally active compartments: the cytosol, a single tubular mitochondrion, and a vestigial plastid organelle called apicoplast. Mitochondrion and apicoplast are of bacterial evolutionary origin and therefore depend on a bacterial‐like translation machinery. The minimal mitochondrial genome contains only three ORFs, and in Toxoplasma gondii the absence of mitochondrial tRNA genes is compensated for by the import of cytosolic eukaryotic tRNAs. Although all compartments require a complete set of charged tRNAs, the apicomplexan nuclear genomes do not hold sufficient aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetase (aaRSs) genes to be targeted individually to each compartment. This study reveals that aaRSs are either cytosolic, apicoplastic or shared between the two compartments by dual targeting but are absent from the mitochondrion. Consequently, tRNAs are very likely imported in their aminoacylated form. Furthermore, the unexpected absence of tRNAMet formyltransferase and peptide deformylase implies that the requirement for a specialized formylmethionyl‐tRNAMet for translation initiation is bypassed in the mitochondrion of Apicomplexa. 相似文献
