绵羊Cytb基因序列多态性及系统进化研究

以8个中国地方绵羊品种和1个外来品种的20个个体为研究对象,通过对Cytb基因的全序列测定,结果表明：绵羊的单倍型多样性为97．1％。所有序列的平均碱基组成为27．1％T,28．5％C,31．4％A及13．0％G,G＋C含量为41．5％,核苷酸多样性为0．602％。在所有序列中共检测到43个变异位点,其中包括40处转换和3处颠换。Fu’S中性检验表明差异不显著（0．10〉P〉0．05）,说明绵羊群体未发生群体扩张事件。NJ、ME及UPGMA聚类结果均表明,我国绵羊可分为3个单倍型组,这提示我国绵羊有3个母系起源。     

Molecular Systematics of Selene (Perciformes: Carangidae) Based on Cytochrome b Sequences

The marine fishes of the genus Selene are morphologically unique, although little is known about how these species are related to other members of the family Carangidae (Perciformes). In addition, questions remain about the potential validity of two putative species and how species groups with unique body forms within Selene are related. We used DNA sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to reconstruct the phylogeny of the seven species of Selene along with five additional species of carangids. Maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony analyses were used to examine the sequence data and both phylogenetic methods were compared. Maximum-likelihood produced a monophyletic Selene, whereas parsimony analyses did not. Both maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony produced similar support for species groups within Selene. Maximum-likelihood produced two monophyletic subgroups within the genus Selene, the "long-finned" and "short-finned" Selene. Maximum-parsimony produced the same monophyletic "long-finned" group but a paraphyletic "short-finned" group. Both analyses confirm that S. brownii and S. setapinnis are distinct species, expunging the question of conspecificity. The phylogenetic placement of the most basal taxon within Selene, S. orstedii, was problematic and differed among analyses. More data are needed to resolve with confidence its correct phylogenetic placement and, thus, the monophyly of the genus Selene.     

Molecular Phylogeny of the Chipmunks Inferred from Mitochondrial Cytochrome b and Cytochrome Oxidase II Gene Sequences

There are currently 25 recognized species of the chipmunk genus Tamias. In this study we sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene of 23 Tamias species. We analyzed the cyt b sequence and then analyzed a combined data set of cyt b along with a previous data set of cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) sequence. Maximum-likelihood was used to further test the fit of models of evolution to the cyt b data. Other sciurid cyt b sequence was added to examine the evolution of Tamias in the context of other sciurids. Relationships among Tamias species are discussed, particularly the possibility of a current sorting event among taxa of the southwestern United States and the extreme divergences among the three subgenera (Neotamias, Eutamias, and Tamias).     

Molecular Systematics of the Family Mormoopidae (Chiroptera) Based on Cytochrome b and Recombination Activating Gene 2 Sequences

We examined 1140 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and 1398 bp of the nuclear RAG2 gene to investigate the systematics of the eight species of bats within the family Mormoopidae. It was concluded that within the genus Pteronotus there were four valid subgenera: Phyllodia, Chilonycteris, Pteronotus, and an undescribed subgenus. Within Pteronotus, P. parnellii either was part of an unresolved tetratomy with the other three subgenera (cytochrome b data) or was basal (RAG2 and combined data). For three species, P. gymnonotus, P. macleayii, and P. quadridens, our sample revealed little geographic variation. In P. davyi and P. parnellii, the magnitude of genetic distance suggests the possibility of two biological species existing within the currently recognized taxa. Within P. personatus, there was substantial geographic variation partitioned in a step-like fashion among our specimens. Neither of the species within the genus Mormoops showed the deep distance nodes present in P. davyi, P. parnellii, and P. personatus. Cytochrome b and RAG2 data indicated that M. megalophylla evolved recently from its common ancestor. Although there was considerable agreement among the branching patterns for the nuclear and mitochondrial genes, both genes failed to provide robust data concerning the evolutionary relationships among the subgenera.

为分析新疆北疆地区主要绵羊品种的遗传多样性和系统发生关系,利用10个微卫星标记,采用PCR扩增,12％非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳、Sanguinetti银染法显色,对新疆北疆地区8个品种、1个杂交一代绵羊群体遗传多样性进行了检测,统计了各群体的等位基因组成、平均有效等位基因数(E)和平均基因纯合率,利用等位基因频率计算出各群体的平均遗传杂合度(h)、多态信息含量(PIC)和群体间的遗传距离。利用分子进化遗传分析软件,采用邻结法构建系统发生树;同时根据等位基因频率,利用PHYLIP(3．6)分析软件,采用最大似然法构建系统发生树,应用白举检验估计系统树中结点的白引导值,并进行了系统发生分析。结果表明：10个微卫星位点在9个绵羊群体中的多态信息含量除BMI824、MAF65为低、中度多态外,其余8个微卫星均为高度多态,可作为有效的遗传标记用于各绵羊品种的遗传多样性和系统发生关系的分析;所有绵羊群体的平均PIC(0．5631)、h(0．5721)和E(2．9)均低于国外其他品种的绵羊,其基因多态性和遗传多样性相对贫乏;新疆本地土种阿勒泰羊、哈萨克羊和巴什拜羊与国外引进绵羊品种及混有外血的本地培育品种遗传距离较远,他们聚为不同的两类,各绵羊品种的分子系统发生关系与其来源、育成史、分化及地理分布基本一致。     

基于3种基因序列对百合属Leucolirion组的系统发育与种间关系研究

中国拥有丰富的野生百合种质资源,但有关百合属的系统发育与进化关系研究相对较少。该研究基于ITS、cpDNA(trnV-ndhC、petL-psbE)及单拷贝核基因AKT等3个基因片段,选取特有分布于西南地区的百合属6个近缘类群共48份样本及GenBank获得的数据,对百合属Leucolirion组进行了系统发育与种间关系研究。结果表明:(1)ITS结果支持前人的处理,即将Leucolirion组细分为2个亚组,subsect.Leucolirion6a和subsect.Leucolirion6b。建议将湖北百合(L.henryi)和南川百合(L.rosthornii)归入到subsect.Leucolirion 6a,与泸定百合(L.sargentiae)、淡黄花百合(L.sulphureum)、宜昌百合(L.leucanthum)和岷江百合(L.regale)等4个种一起组成Leucolirion组;原本属于Archelirion组的野百合(L.brownii)与subsect.Leucolirion6b聚为一支,故将它与台湾百合(L.longiflorm)、麝香百合(L.formosanum)等组成一个新组,命名为百合组(sect.Lilium)。(2)组间关系上,Leucolirion组与百合组的系统发育关系较远,前者与分布于日本的Archelirion组形成姐妹类群,而后者与Sinomartagon组的亲缘关系更近。(3)基于叶绿体联合基因和单拷贝核基因AKT的6个近缘种的遗传距离显示,湖北百合与南川百合明显区别于Leucolirion组内拥有白色管状花的4个类群。叶绿体联合基因树和单拷贝核基因树结果表明,泸定百合、淡黄花百合、岷江百合和宜昌百合在遗传水平上表现出了极高的相似性,遗传关系十分相近,这可能与百合属植物特殊的繁育系统有关,影响了物种间遗传变异与分化。     

Identification of One Intron Loss and Phylogenetic Evolution of Dfak Gene in the Drosophila melanogaster Species Group

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.

濒危植物宽叶羌活天然居群cpDNA非编码区多态性分析

采用叶绿体DNA非编码区直接测序的方法,对青海、甘肃、四川3个省区内濒危植物宽叶羌活14个天然居群的遗传多样性和遗传结构进行了研究,以明确其遗传背景,为宽叶羌活的保护提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)14个居群138个个体的序列长度介于509~515bp;碱基组成A+T含量较高(平均67.6%)。(2)根据序列的核苷酸变异共鉴定出31个单倍型,其中9种单倍型(H5、H1、H9、H10、H16、H17、H19、H20、H22)为居群所共享,而且单倍型H5分布最广、在10个群体的67个个体中检测到,占总样品数的48.56%。(3)14个居群宽叶羌活具有高水平单倍型多样性(Hd=0.750 3)和较高水平核苷酸多样性(Pi=0.007 11),但31个单倍型没有按地理分布形成明显的族群,各地理单元中的单倍型相互混杂,没有明显的地理分化模式。(4)AMOVA分析、居群间分化度(FST=0.602 4)分析和基因流(Nm=0.330)分析的结果一致,表明宽叶羌活大部分遗传变异(60.24%)发生在居群间,居群间的基因流较低,群体间变异是宽叶羌活的主要变异来源。(5)14个居群的遗传距离在0.000~0.007,平均为0.003,表明居群间的亲缘关系较远,且居群间的遗传距离与地理距离之间无显著相关关系(P=0.143),说明宽叶羌活居群遗传变异的分布没有明显的地理趋势。研究认为,宽叶羌活居群间高的遗传变异可能是由基因流受阻、遗传漂变、地理隔离造成的,并提出了对该物种遗传多样性的保护策略。

Multiphasic oxidation-reduction of cytochrome b in the succinate-cytochrome c reductase

The triphasic course previously reported for the reduction of cytochrome b in the succinate-cytochrome c reductase by either succinate or duroquinol has been shown to be dependent on the redox state of the enzyme preparation. Prior reduction with increasing concentrations of ascorbate leads to partial reduction of cytochrome c₁, and a gradual decrease in the magnitude of the oxidation phase of cytochrome b. At an ascorbate concentration sufficient to reduce cytochrome c₁ almost completely, the reduction of cytochrome b by either succinate or duroquinol becomes monophasic. Owing to the presence of a trace amount of cytochrome oxidase in the reductase preparation employed, the addition of cytochrome c makes electron flow from substrate to oxygen possible. Under such circumstances, the addition of a limited amount of either succinate or duroquinol leads to a multiphasic reduction and oxidation of cytochrome b. After the initial three phases as described previously, cytochrome b becomes oxidized before cytochrome c₁ when the limited amount of added substrate is being used up. However, at the end of the reaction when cytochrome c_a is being rapidly oxidized, cytochrome b becomes again reduced. The above observations support a cyclic scheme of electron flow in which the reduction of cytochrome b proceeds by two different routes and its oxidation controlled by the redox state of a component of the respiratory chain.     

绣球属(Hydrangea L.)植物分子系统学及系统发育分析

该研究基于对绣球属(Hydrangea L.)的大尺度取样,选取国内外61种绣球属和近缘属植物,分别基于核基因片段(ITS)和叶绿体基因片段(rbcL,trnL-F,atpB)重建了绣球属及其近缘种属的系统发育关系。结果表明:(1)核基因与叶绿体基因树之间在树形上没有明显的冲突,进而基于核基因和叶绿体基因联合数据重建了绣球属及其近缘种属的系统发育关系。(2)基于联合数据构建的系统树确认了2个大分支,并得到了果实顶端截平与否这一形态学证据的强力支持;每个大分枝又分为4个类群,共确定了8个类群。部分类群也得到了广义宏观形态性状的支持,如第1类群得到了叶形、花粉以及种子形态的支持。因此,该系统发育关系的重建对于全面理解绣球属及其近缘种属的演化关系具有重要的启发。     

Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Genus Potorous (Marsupialia: Potoroidae) Based on Allozyme Electrophoresis and Sequence Analysis of the Cytochrome b Gene

Controversy over the taxonomic designations within the genus Potorous has highlighted problems associated with using only morphological data. The recent rediscovery of Gilbert's Potoroo has allowed us to reexamine the relationship of this species to other extant potoroos. Phylogenetic relationships and estimated divergence times are presented, based on electrophoretic and cytochrome b sequence data. There was considerable concordance between the data sets. We conclude that Gilbert's Potoroo is a separate species and should be referred to by its original name, Potorous gilbertii (Gould 1841). Estimates for potoroid divergences are in line with those of Flannery (1989).     

Genetic diversity and the biogeographical process of Acheilognathus macropterus revealed by sequence variations of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene

In this study, thirty-six individuals of Acheilognathus macropterus were collected from the Heilongjiang River, the Yangtze River, and the Nandujiang River. Partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene region (636 base pair) was sequenced to these samples and 22 haplotypes were found. With A. chankaensis and A. tokinensis as outgroups, their relationships were analyzed. The p-distances were calculated with Mega software and a molecular phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method. The proportions of main morphological characters were compared as well. P-distances showed that the genetic differences in A. macropterus samples were far smaller than those between these samples and the outgroups. The molecular phylogenetic tree shows that samples with barbels and those without barbels were intermingled. There was no distinctive difference in proportions of morphological characteristics among them. These results suggested that samples with barbels and those without barbels (formally identified as A. taenianalis) are the same species; A. taenianalis is synonymous with A. macropterus. The thirtysix individuals were grouped into five clades and the positions of the samples in the clades were correspondingly grouped within their geographical distributions. Among the five clades, clades 1 and 5 included samples from the Heilongjiang River and Nandujiang River respectively. The samples from the Yangtze River scattered into clades 2, 3, and 4. There were distinctive genetic differences (>5%) among them. Interestingly, the distributions of the 21 samples in these three clades were not correlated to their geographical distributions. It is postulated that these genetic differences were due to the bitterlings’ mating choice mechanism, the prozygotic isolation. The genetic differences between the fish from Nandujiang River and those from the mainland indicated that they were separated early. However, the small genetic differences among the samples and the positions of the fish from the Heilonjiang River in the molecular phylogenetic tree indicate that fish in Heilongjiang River might have dispersed from the Yangtze River to that area much later. __________ Translated from Acta Hydrobiologica Sinica, 2006, 39(2): 134–140 [译自: 水生生物学报]     

Phylogenetic Study of Complete Cytochrome b Genes in Musk Deer (Genus Moschus) Using Museum Samples

As an endangered animal group, musk deer (genus Moschus) are not only a great concern of wildlife conservation, but also of special interest to evolutionary studies due to long-standing arguments on the taxonomic and phylogenetic associations in this group. Using museum samples, we sequenced complete mitochondrial cytochrome b genes (1140 bp) of all suggested species of musk deer in order to reconstruct their phylogenetic history through molecular information. Our results showed that the cytochrome b gene tree is rather robust and concurred for all the algorithms employed (parsimony, maximum likelihood, and distance methods). Further, the relative rate test indicated a constant sequence substitution rate among all the species, permitting the dating of divergence events by molecular clock. According to the molecular topology, M. moschiferus branched off the earliest from a common ancestor of musk deer (about 700,000 years ago); then followed the bifurcation forming the M. berezovskii lineage and the lineage clustering M. fuscus, M. chrysogaster, and M. leucogaster (around 370,000 years before present). Interestingly, the most recent speciation event in musk deer happened rather recently (140,000 years ago), which might have resulted from the diversified habitats and geographic barriers in southwest China caused by gigantic movements of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in history. Combining the data of current distributions, fossil records, and molecular data of this study, we suggest that the historical dispersion of musk deer might be from north to south in China. Additionally, in our further analyses involving other pecora species, musk deer was strongly supported as a monophyletic group and a valid family in Artiodactyla, closely related to Cervidae.
