Use of mitogenomic information in teleostean molecular phylogenetics: a tree-based exploration under the maximum-parsimony optimality criterion

We explored the phylogenetic utility and limits of the individual and concatenated mitochondrial genes for reconstructing the higher-level relationships of teleosts, using the complete (or nearly complete) mitochondrial DNA sequences of eight teleosts (including three newly determined sequences), whose relative phylogenetic positions were noncontroversial. Maximum-parsimony analyses of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes from the above eight teleosts, plus two outgroups (bichir and shark), indicated that all of the individual protein-coding genes, with the exception of ND5, failed to recover the expected phylogeny, although unambiguously aligned sequences from 22 concatenated transfer RNA (tRNA) genes (stem regions only) recovered the expected phylogeny successfully with moderate statistical support. The phylogenetic performance of the 13 protein-coding genes in recovering the expected phylogeny was roughly classified into five groups, viz. very good (ND5, ND4, COIII, COI), good (COII, cyt b), medium (ND3, ND2), poor (ND1, ATPase 6), and very poor (ND4L, ND6, ATPase 8). Although the universality of this observation was unclear, analysis of successive concatenation of the 13 protein-coding genes in the same ranking order revealed that the combined data sets comprising nucleotide sequences from the several top-ranked protein-coding genes (no 3rd codon positions) plus the 22 concatenated tRNA genes (stem regions only) best recovered the expected phylogeny, with all internal branches being supported by bootstrap values >90%. We conclude that judicious choice of mitochondrial genes and appropriate data weighting, in conjunction with purposeful taxonomic sampling, are prerequisites for resolving higher-level relationships in teleosts under the maximum-parsimony optimality criterion.     

Mitochondrial genome of the eurasian otterLutra lutra (Mammalia, Carnivora, Mustelidae)

We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the Eurasian otterLutra lutra, which is an endangered species in Korea. The circle genome (16,536 bp in size) consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes, and a control region, as found in other metazoan animals. Out of the 37 genes, 28 are encoded on the H-strand, and the nine (ND6 and 8 tRNA genes) on the L-strand. Three overlaps among the 13 protein-coding genes were found: ATP8-ATP6, ND4L-ND4, and ND5-ND6. A control region (1090 bp) including the origin of H-strand replication (OH), TAS (a conserved motif TACAT-16bp-ATGTA) and CSB (CSB-1, CSB-2. and CSB-3) was observed between tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe genes, and O_L, with 36 highly conserved nucleotides between tRNA-Asn (N) and tRNA-Cys (C) within a cluster of five tRNA genes (WANCY), as typically found in vertebrates. The other important characteristics of theL. lutra mitochondrial genome were described in detail. In addition, a maximum likelihood and Bayesian trees of 9 mustelid species and 1 outgroup were reconstructed based on the nucleotide sequences of 11 protein-coding genes excluding ATP8 and ND6. It showed that Lutrinae formed a monophyletic group with Mustelinae that is not monophyletic. Within the subfamily Lutrinae,L. lutra andEnhydra lutris were grouped together and thenLontra canadentis placed as a sister of the clade. The present result is the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence reported from the genusLutra, and is applicable to molecular phylogenetic, phylogeographic, conservation biological studies for mustelid members. In particular, exploration of sequence variations of the control region may be helpful for analyzing inter-and intra-species variations in the genusLutra.     

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence and gene organization of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) with phylogenetic consideration

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 tRNA^His 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.     

Mitochondrial genome sequences of the striped field mice Apodemus agrarius coreae and Apodemus agrarius chejuensis

We determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences of the striped field mice Apodemus agrarius coreae and Apodemus agrarius chejuensis. The mt genomes of A. a. coreae and A. a. chejuensis are 16,260 and 16,261 base pairs in length, respectively. The general features of the 13 protein-coding genes of the two species are similar to those of other rodents. The TAG termination codon for NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND) 3 is unique to Apodemus in the Muroidea. The L-strand replication origin has the potential to form a stable stem-loop structure. Within the control region, a termination-associated sequence and several conserved sequence blocks were observed. The diversity of the 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 1 control region between the two species ranged between 0.005 (ATP8) and 0.027 (ND4L).     

Complete mitochondrial genome of the rabbitfish Siganus fuscescens (Perciformes, Siganidae).

We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome for the rabbitfish Siganus fuscescens (Perciformes, Siganidae). This mitochondrial genome, consisting of 16,491 base pairs (bp), included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a noncoding control region similar those found in other vertebrates; the gene order was identical to that of typical vertebrates. Most of the genes of S. fuscescens were encoded on the H-strand, while the ND6 and eight tRNA (Gln, Ala, Asn, Cys, Tyr, Ser [UCN], Glu, and Pro) genes were encoded on the L-strand. The reading frames of ATPase 8 and 6 and those of ND4L and ND4 overlapped by ten and seven nucleotides, respectively. All mitochondrial protein-coding genes began with an ATG start codon, except for CO1, which started with GTG. Open reading frames of S. fuscescens ended with TAA (ND1, CO1, ATPase 8, ND4L, ND5 and ND6), and the remainder had incomplete stop codons, either TA (ATPase 6 and CO3) or T (ND2, CO2, ND3, ND4, and Cytb). The origin of L-strand replication in S. fuscescens was located in a cluster of five tRNA genes (WANCY) and was 34 nucleotides in length. A major noncoding region between the tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe genes (828 bp) was considered to be the control region (D-loop). Within this sequence, we identified a conserved sequence block characteristic of this region. The rabbitfish was grouped with Siganus canaliculatus in most parsimony analyses, which showed 100% bootstrap support for their divergence. These findings are useful for inferring phylogenetic relationships and identification within the suborder Acanthuroidei.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the boreal digging frog Kaloula borealis (Anura, Microhylidae)

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome from the boreal digging frog Kaloula borealis. The genome sequence was 17,173 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical to those of previously reported amphibian mitochondrial genomes. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 5 genes (CO2, ATPase 6, CO3, ND3, and ND4) had incomplete stop codons. Also ND1 gene used GTG as a start codon, while CO1 and ND5 genes used AGG as a stop codon. The base composition of K. borealis mitogenome showed a strong anti-G bias (6.11%) on the 3rd position of PCGs.     

Complete mitochondrial genome of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pleuronichthys lighti</Emphasis> (Pleuronectiformes,Pleuronectidae) with phylogenetic consideration

Mitochondrial genome has been used to shed light on many fields of both basic and applied research, including the study of molecular evolution. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of 17368 bp nucleotides from the Pleuronichthys lighti was determined. It was a circular double-stranded DNA molecule with identical set of 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes as well as a non-coding control region. Stand asymmetry in the nucleotide composition was reflected in the codon usage of genes oriented in opposite directions. In the control region, we identified the extended termination associated sequence domain, the central conserved sequence block domain and the conserved sequence block domain, and two complete repeat region. They were “TTACAATA” and “TGTTGTAA”, respectively. All known 12 mitochondrial genomes of Pleuronectinae fishes were downloaded and analyzed; there were 5570 variable sites in the consensus sequences of 15241 base pairs, calculation of total sites were 35.5%. The highest sequence divergence was 50% (ATP8) and the Kimura-2-parameter genetic distance was 0.235 (ND6), whereas the COIII had the lowest sequence divergence (28.8%) and genetic distance (0.128); the protein coding genes were mainly acted by purifying selection which was detected by selection tests. Analysis of confidence and the information content for per nucleotide revealed ND5, ATP6, COI and ND4 genes were suitable molecular markers for phylogenetic study of Pleuronectinae fishes. Phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian computational algorithms based on COI genes provided support for the taxonomic status of P. lighti, which was consistent with the traditional taxonomy.

A comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Eurasian otter <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lutra lutra</Emphasis> (Carnivora; Mustelidae)

Otter populations are declining throughout the world and most otter species are considered endangered. Molecular methods are suitable tools for population genetic research on endangered species. In the present study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of the Eurasian otter Lutra lutra. The mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Eurasian otter is 16,505 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region (CR). The CR sequence of otters from Europe and Asia showed nearly identical numbers and nucleotide sequences of minisatellites. Phylogenetic analysis of Mustelidae mitogenomes, including individual genes, revealed that Lutrinae and Mustelinae form a clade, and that L. lutra and Enhydra lutris are sister taxa within the Lutrinae. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that of the 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes, ND5 is the most reliable marker for analysis of phylogenetic relationships within the Mustelidae.     

Mitochondrial genome of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pteronotus personatus</Emphasis> (Chiroptera: Mormoopidae): comparison with selected bats and phylogenetic considerations

We described the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Wagner’s mustached bat, Pteronotus personatus, a species belonging to the family Mormoopidae, and compared it with other published mitogenomes of bats (Chiroptera). The mitogenome of P. personatus was 16,570 bp long and contained a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one control region (D-loop). Most of the genes were encoded on the H-strand, except for eight tRNA and the ND6 genes. The order of protein-coding and rRNA genes was highly conserved in all mitogenomes. All protein-coding genes started with an ATG codon, except for ND2, ND3, and ND5, which initiated with ATA, and terminated with the typical stop codon TAA/TAG or the codon AGA. Phylogenetic trees constructed using Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods showed an identical topology and indicated the monophyly of different families of bats (Mormoopidae, Phyllostomidae, Vespertilionidae, Rhinolophidae, and Pteropopidae) and the existence of two major clades corresponding to the suborders Yangochiroptera and Yinpterochiroptera. The mitogenome sequence provided here will be useful for further phylogenetic analyses and population genetic studies in mormoopid bats.     

Mitochondrial genome of the cockscomb pearl mussel Cristaria plicata (Bivalvia, Unionoida, Unionidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the cockscomb pearl mussel Cristaria plicata, which is an endangered species in South Korea, was sequenced. The circle genome (15,708 bp in size) consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. There were 26 noncoding regions (NCs) found throughout the mitogenome of C. plicata, ranging in size from 2 to 327 bp, and the two largest NC regions, NC286 and NC326, were found between ND5 and tRNA(Gln) (286 bp) and between tRNA(Glu) and ND2 (326 bp), respectively. The 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes of a female individual of C. plicata collected from Korea (15,708 bp) were compared to those of the Chinese individual (15,712 bp) published before. The result showed that ND3 is the most conserved with 100% nucleotide similarity, and each of the other protein-coding genes has ca. 99%, respectively. The two largest NCs among 26 NCs have totally 98% nucleotide similarity between Korean and Chinese ones.
