Intron loss and its evolutionary significance have been noted in Drosophila. The current study provides another example of intron loss within a single-copy Dfak gene in Drosophila. By using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we amplified about 1.3 kb fragment spanning intron 5–10, located in the position
of Tyr kinase (TyK) domain of Dfak gene from Drosophila melanogaster species group, and observed size difference among the amplified DNA fragments from different species. Further sequencing
analysis revealed that D. melanogaster and D. simulans deleted an about 60 bp of DNA fragment relative to other 7 Drosophila species, such as D. elegans, D. ficusphila, D. biarmipes, D. takahashii, D. jambulina, D. prostipennis and D. pseudoobscura, and the deleted fragment located precisely in the position of one intron. The data suggested that intron loss might have
occurred in the Dfak gene evolutionary process of D. melanogaster and D. simulans of Drosophila melanogaster species group. In addition, the constructed phylogenetic tree based on the Dfak TyK domains clearly revealed the evolutionary relationships between subgroups of Drosophila melanogaster species group, and the intron loss identified from D. melanogaster and D. simulans provides a unique diagnostic tool for taxonomic classification of the melanogaster subgroup from other group of genus Drosophila. 相似文献

Summary The transposable element mariner occurs widely in themelanogaster species group ofDrosophila. However, in drosophilids outside of themelanogaster species group, sequences showing strong DNA hybridization with mariner are found only in the genusZaprionus. the mariner sequence obtained fromZaprionus tuberculatus is 97% identical with that fromDrosophila mauritiana, a member of themelanogaster species subgroup, whereas a mariner sequence isolated fromDrosophila tsacasi is only 92% identical with that fromD. mauritiana. BecauseD. tsacasi is much more closely related toD. mauritiana than isZaprionus, the presence of mariner inZaprionus may result from horizontal transfer. In order to confirm lack of a close phylogenetic relationship between the genusZaprionus and themelanogaster species group, we compared the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) sequences among these species. The results show that the coding region of Adh is only 82% identical betweenZ. tuberculatus andD. mauritiana, as compared with 90% identical betweenD. tsacasi andD. mauritiana. Furthermore, the mariner gene phylogeny obtained by maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses is discordant with the species phylogeny estimated by using the Adh genes. The only inconsistency in the mariner gene phylogeny is in the placement of theZaprionus mariner sequence, which clusters with mariner fromDrosophila teissieri andDrosophila yakuba in themelanogaster species subgroup. These results strongly suggest horizontal transfer. 相似文献

Relationships between 9Oryza species, covering 6 different genomes, have been studied using hybridization and nucleotide sequence information from the5S Dna locus. Four to five units of the major size class of 5S DNA in each species, 55 units in all, were cloned and sequenced. Both hybridization and sequence data confirmed the basic differences between the A and B, C, D genome species suggested by morphological and cytological data. The 5S DNA units of the A genome species were very similar, as were the ones from the B, C, and D genome-containing species. The 5S DNA ofO. australiensis (E genome) grouped with the B, C, D cluster, while the units ofO. brachyantha (F genome) were quite different and grouped away from all other species. 5S DNA units fromO. minuta, O. latifolia, O. australiensis, andO. brachyantha hybridized strongly, and preferentially, to the genomic DNA from which the units were isolated and hence could be useful as species/genome specific probes. The 5S DNA units fromO. sativa, O. nivara, andO. rufipogon provided A genome-specific probes as they hybridized preferentially to A genome DNA. The units fromO. punctata andO. officinalis displayed weaker preferential hybridization toO. punctata DNA, possibly reflecting their shared genome (C genome). 相似文献

The phylogenetic relationships among nine entities of Drosophila belonging to the D. willistoni subgroup were investigated by establishing the homologous chromosomal segments of IIR chromosome, Muller’s element B (equivalent
to chromosome 2L of D. melanogaster). The sibling species of the D. willistoni group investigated include D. willistoni, D. tropicalis tropicalis, D. tropicalis cubana, D. equinoxialis, D. insularis and four semispecies of the D. paulistorum complex. The phylogenetic relationships were based on the existence of segments in different triads of species, which could
only be produced by overlapping inversions. Polytene banding similarity maps and break points of inversions between species
are presented. The implications of the chromosomal data for the phylogeny of the species and comparisons with molecular data
are discussed. The aim of this study is to produce phylogenetic trees depicting accurately the sequence of natural events
that have occurred in the evolution of these sibling species.

Summary Increasing data onDrosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) sequences have made it possible to calculate the rate of amino acid replacement per year, which is 1.7×10–9. This value makes this protein suitable for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships within the genus for those species for which no molecular data are available such asScaptodrosophila. The amino acid sequence ofDrosophila lebanonensis is compared to all of the already knownDrosophila ADHs, stressing the unique characteristic features of this protein such as the conservation of an initiating methionine at the N-terminus, the unique replacement of a glycine by an alanine at a very conserved position in the NAD domain of all dehydrogenases, the lack of a slowmigrating peptide, and the total conservation of the maximally hydrophilic peptide. The functional significance of these features is discussed.Although the percent amino acid identity of the ADH molecule inDrosophila decreases as the number of sequences compared increases, the conservation of residue type in terms of size and hydrophobocity for the ADH molecule is shown to be very high throughout the genusDrosophila. The distance matrix and parsimony methods used to establish the phylogenetic relationships ofD. lebanonensis show that the three subgenera,Scaptodrosophila, Drosophila, andSophophora separated at approximately the same time. 相似文献

Summary The sites of seven tRNA genes (Arg-2, Lys-2, Ser-2b, Ser-7, Thr-3, Thr-4, Val-3b) were studied by in situ hybridization.125I-labeled tRNA probes fromDrosophila melanogaster were hybridized to spreads of polytene chromosomes prepared from fourDrosophila species representing different evolutionary lineages (D. melanogaster, Drosophila hydei, Drosophila pseudoobscura, andDrosophila virilis). Most tRNA loci occurred on homologous chromosomal elements of all four species. In some cases the number of hybridization sites within an element varied and sites on nonhomologous elements were found. It was observed that both tRNA

Inferring evolutionary relationships among recently diverged lineages is necessary to understand how isolating barriers produce independent lineages. Here, we investigate the phylogenetic relationships between three incompletely isolated and closely related mushroom‐feeding Drosophila species. These species form the Drosophila subquinaria species complex and consist of one Eurasian species (D. transversa) and two widespread North American species (D. subquinaria and D. recens) that are sympatric in central Canada. Although patterns of pre‐ and post‐mating isolation among these species are well characterized, previous work on their phylogenetic relationships is limited and conflicting. In this study, we generated a multi‐locus data set of 29 loci from across the genome sequenced in a population sample from each species, and then, we inferred species relationships and patterns of introgression. We find strong statistical support that D. subquinaria is paraphyletic, showing that samples from the geographic region sympatric with D. recens are most closely related to D. recens, whereas samples from the geographic region allopatric with D. recens are most closely related to D. transversa. We present several lines of evidence that both incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow are causing phylogenetic discordance. We suggest that ongoing gene flow primarily from D. recens into D. subquinaria in the sympatric part of their ranges causes phylogenetic uncertainty in the evolutionary history of these species. Our results highlight how population genetic data can be used to disentangle the sources of phylogenetic discordance among closely related species. 相似文献

The heat shock proteins of the virilis group of Drosophila are analyzed by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel analysis. This group consists of the two closely related but distinct virilis and montana phylads. The analysis reveals that some of the heat shock proteins are highly conserved among the two phylads while others are not. The 83-, 72-, and 69-kdalton proteins comigrate in all species examined. There is, however, a noticable trend toward greater molecular weight variability in the smaller heat shock proteins. In general, the heat shock protein patterns within each phylad follow the proposed phylogenetic relationships with some exceptions. D. ezoana and D. littoralis, both members of the montana phylad, exhibit heat shock protein patterns more similar to those of the virilis phylad. The data also demonstrate that the montana phylad has almost two times the heat shock allele members that the virilis phylad has. It is also shown that F1 and F2 hybrid flies of crosses between Drosophila species having different patterns of heat shock proteins show Mendelian segregation of alleles. After several generations of inbred growth, however, the pattern of heat shock protein synthesis in reciprocal hybrids each resembles that of the paternal parent. The implications of these findings are discussed.This research was supported in part by Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Grant DRG-233F to R.M.S. and NIH Grant GM 27611 to R.V.S.

Summary The evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships of sevenDrosophila species groups (represented byD. melanogaster, D. mulleri, D. mercatorum, D. robusta, D. virilis, D. immigrans, D. funebris, andD. melanica) were investigated by the use of two-dimensional electrophoresis. The resulting phylogeny is congruent with the current views of evolution among these groups based on morphological characters and immunological distances. Previous studies indicated that the ability of one-dimensional electrophoresis to resolve relationships between distantly related taxa extended to about the Miocene [25 million years (Myr) ago], but the present study demonstrates that two-dimensional electrophoresis is a useful indicator of phylogeny even back to the Paleocene (65 Myr ago). In addition, two-dimensional electrophoresis is shown to be a useful technique for detecting slowly evolving structural proteins such as actins and tropomyosins. 相似文献

Diaphorase-1 and diaphorase-2 were isolated from twoDrosophila species,D. virilis andD. melanogaster, and purified by gel filtration, affinity chromatography, immunoaffinity chromatography, and ion-exchange chromatography.
The molecular weights of both enzymes were the same in each species. The molecular weight of diaphorase-1 was the same under
both denaturating and nondenaturating conditions, close to 60,000, indicating a monomeric structure. Sodium dodecyl sulfate
(SDS) electrophoresis of the purified diaphorase-2 revealed the presence of a single protein band of 55,000 Da, while the
molecular weight of the native enzyme was found to be 67,000. The two diaphorases were further characterized by their pH optima,
isoelectric points, and kinetic parameters, and antibodies were raised in rabbits against the purified enzymes fromD. virilis. The antibodies showed no cross-reactions but recognized the corresponding diaphorases inD. melanogaster andD. novamexicana as well asD. virilis. The data obtained confirmed the hypothesis of an independent genetic control of diaphorase-1 and diaphorase-2 inDrosophila. 相似文献

There has been a great deal of interest in determining phylogenetic relationships within the family Dasyuridae due to the widespread distribution, ecological diversity, and relative plesiomorphy of this taxon within the Australasian marsupial radiation. In the past, it has been extremely problematic to determine the phylogenetic relationships among species within Dasyurus, with numerous studies using both morphological and molecular characters providing different topologies. Here, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region is used as a novel set of characters in an attempt to identify relationships among the six closely related extant species. Sequences were obtained from multiple individuals representing all extant species of quolls including, when possible, individuals from different geographical regions. Sequences were analyzed using both parsimony criteria and neighbor-joining methods. Results presented here concur with those of Krajewski et al. (1997) in (1) placing D. geoffroii in a highly supported clade with D. spartacus, (2) resolving a monophyletic group of D. albopunctatus + D. geoffroii + D. spartacus, and (3) placing D. hallucatus as the sister taxon to all other species of quolls. Results also show two highly supported and geographically distinct clades of D. maculatus (Tasmanian and mainland) that do not correspond to the currently used subspecific nomenclature. Preliminary results also indicate that there are different clades among geographic groups of D. hallucatus that warrant further investigation. The mtDNA control region is a highly variable locus and may be used in forensic tests for species identification in this genus. 相似文献

Two new species of hyphomycetes,Xenocylindrocladium guianense andX. subverticillatum, are described from plant debris collected in French Guiana and Singapore, respectively. The genusXenocylindrocladium has thus far been known from one species,X. serpens, which was described from plant debris collected in Ecuador. The two new taxa are compared with and distinguished fromX. serpens based on morphology, cultural characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data of the 5.8S rDNA with flanking
ITS1 and ITS2 regions and the 5′ end of the β-tubulin gene. These species are also compared with other closely related hypocrealean
taxa. Present collection data suggest that species ofXenocylindrocladium could be restricted to the tropics. 相似文献

The Euterpeinae contains six neotropical genera. There has been continual disagreement on generic and subgeneric boundaries
in the subtribe.Euterpe andPrestoea, andJessenia andOenocarpus, have been repeatedly united and separated. A phylogenetic analysis based on 54 morphological and anatomical characters gave
one tree of 127 steps.Euterpe is separate fromPrestoea, butJessenia andOenocarpus are best treated as one genus. Subgeneric relationships ofEuterpe andOenocarpus are also analyzed and discussed. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis about an inconsistency in time estimation of the divergence and topology of
species Drosophila kanekoi, D. ezoana, and D. littoralis which is caused by the irregular accumulation rate of replacements in different DNA sequences used for analysis and in evolutionary
lineages. The phylogenetic relationships based on sequences of five genes among 11 Drosophila species of the virilis group are revised, and estimation of molecular clock regularity in several phylogenetic lineages of this group is given.
It was shown that Drosophila kanekoi, D. ezoana, and D. littoralis contituted in a single cluster, which was most related to the subphylad montana. The irregularity of molecular clocks was shown for the highly conservative sequences of the mt 12S-16S rRNA and Ras1 genes, the replacements of which were predominantly neutral. The irregularity of the molecular clock between several phylads
and phylogenetic trees of subphylads lummei and kanekoi was revealed. 相似文献

Summary Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction site maps for nine species of theDrosophila obscura subgroup and forDrosophila melanogaster were established. Taking into account all restriction enzymes (12) and strains (45) analyzed, a total of 105 different sites were detected, which corresponds to a sample of 3.49% of the mtDNA genome. Based on nucleotide divergences, two phylogenetic trees were constructed assuming either constant or variable rates of evolution. Both methods led to the same relationships. Five differentiated clusters were found for theobscura subgroup species, one Nearctic, represented byDrosophila pseudoobscura, and four Palearctic, two grouping the related triads of speciesDrosophila subobscura, Drosophila madeirensis, Drosophila guanche, andDrosophila ambigua, Drosophila obscura, Drosophila subsilvestris, and two more represented by one species each,Drosophila bifasciata, andDrosophila tristis. The different Palearctic clusters are as distant between themselves as with the Nearctic one. For the related speciesD. subobscura, D. madeirensis, andD. guanche, the pairD. subobscura-D. madeirensis is the closest one. The relationships found by nucleotide divergence were confirmed by differences in mitochondrial genome size, with related species sharing similar genome lengths and differing from the distant ones. The total mtDNA size range for theobscura subgroup species was from 15.5 kb forD. pseudoobscura to 17.1 forD. tristis. 相似文献

We analyzed 28 species of the genus Drosophilafor the presence of the Tc1-like transposable element Minosusing Southern blot hybridization under high stringency conditions. The Minostransposon was found in members of both the Drosophilaand the Sophophorasubgenus showing a distribution that is wider if compared to other well-studied Drosophilatransposons such as the Pelement, hoboand mariner. The presence of Minos-hybridizing sequences was discontinuous in the Sophophorasubgenus, especially in the melanogasterspecies group. Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction we amplified a portion corresponding to the putative Minostransposase from different Drosophilaspecies. Cloning and sequence analysis of randomly selected Minoscopies from D. mojavensisis, D. saltansand D. willistonisupports the idea that event(s) of horizontal transfer may have contributed to the spreading of this transposon in the Drosophilagenus.

Species belonging to the obscura group of the genus Drosophila have long held a central position in evolutionary studies, especially in experimental population genetics. Despite the considerable amount of accumulated knowledge, many of the phylogenetic relationships of the species in the group remain unclear. Here we present DNA sequence data for the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI) for 13 species native to both the Old and New Worlds. We combine these data with seven other mitochondrial gene sequences from previous studies, for a total of over 3 kb per species. Strongly supported conclusions include: (1) the two North American subgroups, pseudoobscura and affinis, are each monophyletic; and (2) among Eurasian species two unambiguous clades are identified, one containing D. tristis, D. ambigua, and D. obscura and the other containing D. guanche, D. subobscura, and D. madeirensis. Constructing firm hypotheses connecting these four major clades is problematic with all datasets. Major ambiguities are the number of invasions giving rise to the North American obscura species and the relationships among the Eurasian species. The inadequacy of the mtDNA data to resolve these ambiguities does not reside in lack of changes; the transversions-only parsimony tree has 283 informative characters. Rather, the problems are likely intrinsic to the history of the group: while radiating in temperate Eurasia, North America was colonized once or twice, followed by one or two radiations in the New World. 相似文献

The phylogenetic relationships of 15 species of the obscura group of Drosophila were analysed by use of one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. Genetic distances based on two-dimensional data are five times smaller than those based on native proteins. From the data, it is proposed that the species radiation of the obscura group happened in two evolutionary bursts, the first one giving rise to at least four palearctic proto-lineages (bifasciata, obscura (including D. subsilvestris), subobscura, and microlabis) and one or two proto-nearctic lineages (affinis, pseudoobscura), and the second, more recent burst giving rise to the current speciation within lineages. 相似文献
