The genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains several duplicated regions. The recent sequencing results of several yeast species suggest that the duplicated regions found in the modern Saccharomyces species are probably the result of a single gross duplication, as well as a series of sporadic independent short-segment duplications. The gross duplication might coincide with the origin of the ability to grow under anaerobic conditions. 相似文献

Summary An approach for the screening of mit
- mutants, the isolation and preliminary classification of a series of such mutants is reported. Loss and retention of 8 mit
- and 6 drug
r markers in mitDNA was analyzed in populations of rho- clones derived from four yeast strains. The populations studied constitute a representative fraction of the rho- petites formed during growth at 35° C under the influence of mutation tsp-25 which is in common to the four strains. The majority of the rho- clones retained several of the markers studied. Depending on the marker regarded retention frequencies between 15% (oxi3) and 45% (oli1, cob) were observed. Loss of one and retention of the other of a pair of markers was determined in all rho- clones of the four populations. The frequencies of marker separation by rho- deletion thus obtained are assumed to reflect the distance between markers on the mitochondrial genome: the higher the frequency of separation the longer the distance between two markers. Based on these frequencies a unique order of markers on a circular map was determined. Positions of markers on a scale from 0 to 100 were found to be: cap/ery (0) — olil (16) — cob1-1354 (21) — ana101 (22) — cob2-1625 (24) — oli2 (35) — pho1 (40) — oxi3-2501 (44) — oxi3-3771 (47) — par (65) — oxi2 (79) — oxil (87) tms8 (93) —cap (100). The relevance of this map as to the faithful representation of the topology of gene loci on mitDNA is discussed. Correlation of retention frequencies of markers to their map positions reveals a pronounced polarity: mitDNA segments carrying the cob-oli1 segment prevail whereas segments retaining oxi3 are the least frequent. 相似文献

The luminescent marine ostracod Vargula hilgendorfii comprises distinct populations around the Japanese islands. Its mitochondrial DNA is unusual, with duplicated control regions (CRs; CR#1 and CR#2). We determined the sequences of ostracod CRs in 7 different populations. The sequences of CR#1 and CR#2 within any population were extremely similar, above 99.7%; moreover, their derived evolutionary tree indicates that the pairs of CRs have evolved in concert within each mitochondrial genome. These results suggest that an exact replication mechanism controls the concerted evolution of CRs. 相似文献

Gene duplication with subsequent divergence plays a central role in the acquisition of genes with novel function and complexity during the course of evolution. With reduced functional constraints or through positive selection, these duplicated genes may experience accelerated evolution. Under the model of subfunctionalization, loss of subfunctions leads to complementary acceleration at sites with two copies, and the difference in average rate between the sequences may not be obvious. On the other hand, the classical model of neofunctionalization predicts that the evolutionary rate in one of the two duplicates is accelerated. However, the classical model does not tell which of the duplicates experiences the acceleration in evolutionary rate. Here, we present evidence from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome that a duplicate located in a genomic region with a low-recombination rate is likely to evolve faster than a duplicate in an area of high recombination. This observation is consistent with population genetics theory that predicts that purifying selection is less effective in genomic regions of low recombination (Hill-Robertson effect). Together with previous studies, our results suggest the genomic background (e.g., local recombination rate) as a potential force to drive the divergence between nontandemly duplicated genes. This implies the importance of structure and complexity of genomes in the diversification of organisms via gene duplications. 相似文献

Studies of copy-number variation and linkage disequilibrium (LD) have typically excluded complex regions of the genome that are rich in duplications and prone to rearrangement. In an attempt to assess the heritability and LD of copy-number polymorphisms (CNPs) in duplication-rich regions of the genome, we profiled copy-number variation in 130 putative "rearrangement hotspot regions" among 269 individuals of European, Yoruba, Chinese, and Japanese ancestry analyzed by the International HapMap Consortium. Eighty-four hotspot regions, corresponding to 257 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) probes, showed evidence of copy-number differences. Despite a predisposing genetic architecture, no polymorphism was ever observed in the remaining 46 "rearrangement hotspots," and we suggest these represent excellent candidate sites for pathogenic rearrangements. We used a combination of BAC-based and high-density customized oligonucleotide arrays to resolve the molecular basis of structural rearrangements. For common variants (frequency >10%), we observed a distinct bias against copy-number losses, suggesting that deletions are subject to purifying selection. Heritability estimates did not differ significantly from 1.0 among the majority (30 of 34) of loci analyzed, consistent with normal Mendelian inheritance. Some of the CNPs in duplication-rich regions showed strong LD with nearby single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and were observed to segregate on ancestral SNP haplotypes. However, LD with the best available SNP markers was weaker than has been reported for deletion polymorphisms in less complex regions of the genome. These observations may be accounted for by a low density of SNP data in duplicated regions, challenges in mapping and typing the CNPs, and the possibility that CNPs in these regions have rearranged on multiple haplotype backgrounds. Our results underscore the need for complete maps of genetic variation in duplication-rich regions of the genome. 相似文献

In meiosis of haploid rye associations of two or more chromosomes are observed. In order to investigate whether these associations are chiasmate, metaphase I and anaphase I associations were analysed after Giemsa banding. — At anaphase I chromatid exchanges between differently marked chromosome arms were observed, which proved the presence of real chiasmata. The association between banded and unbanded arms shows that the heterochromatic telomeres do not act as secondary pairing sources. Different statistical approaches were used to test randomness of chiasma formation. It appeared to be non-random, which showed that the segments involved were non-randomly located and probably limited in number. The nature of these segments is discussed. 相似文献

Background
Intrinsically disordered regions are enriched in short interaction motifs that play a critical role in many protein-protein interactions. Since new short interaction motifs may easily evolve, they have the potential to rapidly change protein interactions and cellular signaling. In this work we examined the dynamics of gain and loss of intrinsically disordered regions in duplicated proteins to inspect if changes after genome duplication can create functional divergence. For this purpose we used Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the outgroup species Lachancea kluyveri.Principal Findings
We find that genes duplicated as part of a genome duplication (ohnologs) are significantly more intrinsically disordered than singletons (p<2.2e-16, Wilcoxon), reflecting a preference for retaining intrinsically disordered proteins in duplicate. In addition, there have been marked changes in the extent of intrinsic disorder following duplication. A large number of duplicated genes have more intrinsic disorder than their L. kluyveri ortholog (29% for duplicates versus 25% for singletons) and an even greater number have less intrinsic disorder than the L. kluyveri ortholog (37% for duplicates versus 25% for singletons). Finally, we show that the number of physical interactions is significantly greater in the more intrinsically disordered ohnolog of a pair (p = 0.003, Wilcoxon).Conclusion
This work shows that intrinsic disorder gain and loss in a protein is a mechanism by which a genome can also diverge and innovate. The higher number of interactors for proteins that have gained intrinsic disorder compared with their duplicates may reflect the acquisition of new interaction partners or new functional roles. 相似文献8.
Construction of a Not I restriction map of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome. 总被引:47,自引:13,他引:34

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis and large DNA technology were used to construct a Not I restriction map of the entire genome of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. There are 14 detectable Not I sites in S. pombe 972h: 9 sites on chromosome I and 5 sites on chromosome II, while no Not I sites were found on chromosome III. The 17 fragments (including intact chromosome III) generated by Not I digestion were resolved by PFG electrophoresis. These fragments ranged in size from 4.5 kb to approximately 3.5 Mb. Various strategies were applied in determining, efficiently, the order of the fragments on the chromosomes. The genomic size measured by adding all the fragments together is about 14 Mb and the sizes of the three chromosomes are I, 5.7 Mb, II, 4.6 to 4.7 Mb, and III, 3.5 Mb. These are generally somewhat smaller than estimated previously. 相似文献

An increasing number of studies report that functional divergence in duplicated genes is accompanied by gene expression changes, although the evolutionary mechanism behind this process remains unclear. Our genomic analysis on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows that the number of shared regulatory motifs in the duplicates decreases with evolutionary time, whereas the total number of regulatory motifs remains unchanged. Moreover, genes with numerous paralogs in the yeast genome do not have especially low number of regulatory motifs. These findings indicate that degenerative complementation is not the sole mechanism behind expression divergence in yeast. Moreover, we found some evidence for the action of positive selection on cis-regulatory motifs after gene duplication. These results suggest that the evolution of functional novelty has a substantial role in yeast duplicate gene evolution. 相似文献

Previous studies have indicated that Arabidopsis thaliana experienced a genome-wide duplication event shortly before its divergence from Brassica followed by extensive chromosomal rearrangements and deletions. While a large number of the duplicated genes have significantly diverged or lost their sister genes, we found 4222 pairs that are still highly conserved, and as a result had similar functional assignments during the annotation of the genome sequence. Using whole-genome DNA microarrays, we identified 906 duplicated gene pairs in which at least one member exhibited a significant response to oxidative stress. Among these, only 117 pairs were up- or down-regulated in both pairs and many of these exhibited dissimilar patterns of expression. Examination of the expression patterns of PAL1 and PAL2, ACD1 and ACD2, genes coding for two Hsp20s, various P450s, and electron transfer flavoproteins suggests Arabidopsis evolved a number of distinct oxidative stress response mechanisms using similar gene sets following the duplication of its genome. 相似文献

During the last 30 years, the cattle genome map has been expanded from 4 genes linked on chromosome X to over 22,000 genes identified in the cattle genome sequence assembly. This progress has been achieved due to numerous projects on linkage and physical mapping of the cattle genome driven by its agricultural and scientific significance. Indeed, the high-resolution mapping and functional analysis of the genome led to the discovery of major quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions and several quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs), as well as some disease genes in the cow population. In addition, a comparison of the cattle genome to the genomes of other mammals has revealed its unique features gained during the speciation and adaptation. With the development of non-expensive sequencing techniques, the analysis of the cattle genome will shift towards the identification of differences between breeds or individuals within breeds that account for the unique features of each breed. This approach holds promise for the development of effective tools for the marker assistant selection and disease diagnostics in cattle. 相似文献

Mitochondrial genetics in perspective: the derivation of a genetic and physical map of the yeast mitochondrial genome. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The attainment of the map of functions coded in the yeast mitochondrial genome represents the end of an era of development in mitochondrial genetics. Following the earliest genetic studies, where first the respiration-deficient petite mutants, then subsequently the other types of mitochondrial mutants, were characterized, it was realized that a genetic approach to the questions of mitochondrial biogenesis and the genetic function of mtDNA would yield much useful information. A period of intensive investigation into the behavior of mitochondrial genes in genetic crosses followed, and it was concluded that the purely genetic techniques of transmissional and recombinational analysis could not yield a map of the genetic loci, although basic rules for mitochondrial genetic manipulation were established. The concurrent studies of the nature of the deletions in petite mtDNA led to the recognition that an analysis of the behavior of genetic loci in petite mutants would provide the method for genetically mapping the positions of loci in mtDNA where conventional genetic crosses between grande strains had failed. This thesis was first confirmed by our studies of the frequencies of coretention and loss of individual loci in large populations of petite isolates, which produced the first circular genetic map of drug resistance loci on mtDNA. Subsequent to this genetic mapping phase, we established a general procedure for determining the physical map position of any mitochondrial genetic locus or mtDNA sequence by introducing the use of a molecular library of petite mutants carrying physically and genetically defined segments of mtDNA. These petites can be tested for the retention or loss of genetic loci or particular nucleotide sequences. This general solution to the mapping problem and the physical map of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial genome obtained, which has been confirmed by studies using restriction enzymes, has provided the field with a molecular point of reference for the many current genetic and biochemical investigations into the structure and function of mtDNA in yeast. 相似文献

The loss of functional redundancy is the key process in the evolution of duplicated genes. Here we systematically assess the extent of functional redundancy among a large set of duplicated genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We quantify growth rate in rich medium for a large number of S. cerevisiae strains that carry single and double deletions of duplicated and singleton genes. We demonstrate that duplicated genes can maintain substantial redundancy for extensive periods of time following duplication (~100 million years). We find high levels of redundancy among genes duplicated both via the whole genome duplication and via smaller scale duplications. Further, we see no evidence that two duplicated genes together contribute to fitness in rich medium substantially beyond that of their ancestral progenitor gene. We argue that duplicate genes do not often evolve to behave like singleton genes even after very long periods of time. 相似文献

Genome maps in livestock species have been under development for the last decade. While the sheep map is one of the least advanced for livestock, the amount of available information is noteworthy, in light of the paucity of funding and personnel devoted to this project. These limited resources have been strategically aligned to take advantage of information from the human, mouse and bovine mapping and sequencing efforts. The resulting ovine linkage and physical maps have greatly enhanced the search for genes controlling important traits in sheep. In order to improve the efficiency of these investigations, it is imperative that efforts on the sheep comparative map be continued. 相似文献

The completion of the chimpanzee genome will greatly help us determine which genetic changes are unique to humanity. Chimpanzees are our closest living relative, and a recent study has made considerable progress towards decoding the genome of our sister taxon.1 Over 75,000 common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) bacterial artificial chromosome end sequences were aligned and mapped to the human genome. This study shows the remarkable genetic similarity (98.77%) between humans and chimpanzees, while highlighting intriguing areas of potential difference. If we wish to understand the genetic basis of humankind, the completion of the chimpanzee genome deserves high priority. 相似文献

Background
Cattle are important agriculturally and relevant as a model organism. Previously described genetic and radiation hybrid (RH) maps of the bovine genome have been used to identify genomic regions and genes affecting specific traits. Application of these maps to identify influential genetic polymorphisms will be enhanced by integration with each other and with bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries. The BAC libraries and clone maps are essential for the hybrid clone-by-clone/whole-genome shotgun sequencing approach taken by the bovine genome sequencing project.Results
A bovine BAC map was constructed with HindIII restriction digest fragments of 290,797 BAC clones from animals of three different breeds. Comparative mapping of 422,522 BAC end sequences assisted with BAC map ordering and assembly. Genotypes and pedigree from two genetic maps and marker scores from three whole-genome RH panels were consolidated on a 17,254-marker composite map. Sequence similarity allowed integrating the BAC and composite maps with the bovine draft assembly (Btau3.1), establishing a comprehensive resource describing the bovine genome. Agreement between the marker and BAC maps and the draft assembly is high, although discrepancies exist. The composite and BAC maps are more similar than either is to the draft assembly.Conclusion
Further refinement of the maps and greater integration into the genome assembly process may contribute to a high quality assembly. The maps provide resources to associate phenotypic variation with underlying genomic variation, and are crucial resources for understanding the biology underpinning this important ruminant species so closely associated with humans. 相似文献20.
A restriction map of the entire Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome was constructed using two restriction enzymes (BamHI and PstI) that recognize 6 bp. The restriction map contains 420 minimally overlapping clones (miniset) and has 22 gaps. We located
126 genes, marker fragments of DNA (NotI and SfiI linking clones), and 36 transposable elements by hybridization to unique restriction fragments.
