本文对DNA序列进化过程中核苷酸替代的随机模型进行了评价,对替代速率在时间和空间上不恒定的情形进行了考察和推广。Lanave等(1984)曾提出一个模型,宣称对替代的模式未做任何假定,但事实上我们证明它假定替代过程是可逆的。运用2-p、4-p和6-p模型进行的计算表明替代速度在位点间的差异会造成估计的替代数严重偏低,并且替代数越大,偏差也越大。替代模式在位点间的差异也会造成估计值偏低,但偏差不严重 相似文献

DNA序列进化过程中核苷酸替代的非独立性研究 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
本文评述了DNA序列间核苷酸替代数的估计方法,并通过对七个物种中组蛋白基因的比较对DNA进化的模型进行了考察。发现H2A基因第三位点上的碱基组成在物种间变异很大,并且跟H2A基因第一位点、H4基因第一、三位点及H2A上游,下游序列中的碱基组成有强正相关,提示DNA序列进化过程中存在着物种特异的区域性约束力。可能的原因是高等真核生物中GC含量升高,或者是染色体重组使这些同源序列位于不同的等质区段,从而受到不同的选择突变压。密码内各位点上核苷酸替代的相关性分析表明不同位点的替代是非独立的,其原因可能是一次替代事件引起多个位点的变化。文中讨论了这些结果对进化树推断的意义。 相似文献

在遗传力的估计过程中,需将多种非遗传因素的影响从公畜间方差或者母畜间方差中剔除。在我国常使用的是盛志廉教授提出的单元内同胞相关法。本文对该法从理论上进行了更详细的证明,并将其推广到两层分类方差分析时的情况。同时还给出了当公母畜彼此间有亲缘关系时,利用单元内方差分析估计遗传力的方法。这些方法既可使遗传力的估计简便,又具有多因方差分析的功用。 相似文献

Freeing phylogenies from artifacts of alignment. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Widely used methods for phylogenetic inference, both those that require and those that produce alignments, share certain weaknesses. These weaknesses are discussed, and a method that lacks them is introduced. For each pair of sequences in the data set, the method utilizes both insertion-deletion and amino acid replacement information to estimate a pairwise evolutionary distance. It is also possible to allow regional heterogeneity of replacement rates. Because a likelihood framework is adopted, the standard deviation of each pairwise distance can be estimated. The distance matrix and standard error estimates are used to infer a phylogenetic tree. As an example, this method is used on 10 widely diverged sequences of the second largest RNA polymerase subunit. A pseudo-bootstrap technique is devised to assess the validity of the inferred phylogenetic tree. 相似文献

Models of amino acid substitution and applications to mitochondrial protein evolution 总被引:8,自引:20,他引:8
Models of amino acid substitution were developed and compared using maximum
likelihood. Two kinds of models are considered. "Empirical" models do not
explicitly consider factors that shape protein evolution, but attempt to
summarize the substitution pattern from large quantities of real data.
"Mechanistic" models are formulated at the codon level and separate
mutational biases at the nucleotide level from selective constraints at the
amino acid level. They account for features of sequence evolution, such as
transition-transversion bias and base or codon frequency biases, and make
use of physicochemical distances between amino acids to specify
nonsynonymous substitution rates. A general approach is presented that
transforms a Markov model of codon substitution into a model of amino acid
replacement. Protein sequences from the entire mitochondrial genomes of 20
mammalian species were analyzed using different models. The mechanistic
models were found to fit the data better than empirical models derived from
large databases. Both the mutational distance between amino acids
(determined by the genetic code and mutational biases such as the
transition-transversion bias) and the physicochemical distance are found to
have strong effects on amino acid substitution rates. A significant
proportion of amino acid substitutions appeared to have involved more than
one codon position, indicating that nucleotide substitutions at neighboring
sites may be correlated. Rates of amino acid substitution were found to be
highly variable among sites.

The internal branch lengths estimated by distance methods such as neighbor joining are shown to be biased to be short when the evolutionary rate differs among sites. The variable-invariable model for site heterogeneity fits the amino acid sequence data encoded by the mitochondrial DNA from Hominoidea remarkably well. By assuming the orangutan separation to be 13 or 16 Myr old, a maximum-likelihood analysis estimates a young date of 3.6 ± 0.6 or 4.4 ± 0.7 Myr (±1 SE) for the human/chimpanzee separation, and these estimates turn out to be robust against differences in the assumed model for amino acid substitutions. Although some uncertainties still exist in our estimates, this analysis suggests that humans separated from chimpanzees some 4–5 Myr ago.Correspondence to: M. Hasewaga 相似文献

The pncA gene codes the pyrazinamidase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which converts pyrazinamide to ammonia and pyrazinoic-acid, the active antituberculous compound. Pyrazinamidase mutations are associated to pyrazinamide-resistant phenotype, however how mutations affect the structure of the pyrazinamidase, and how structural changes affect the enzymatic function and the level of pyrazinamide-resistance is unknown. The structures of mutated pyrazinamidases from twelve Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and the pyrazinamide-susceptible H37Rv reference strain were modelled using homology modelling and single amino acid replacement. Physical-chemical and structural parameters of each pyrazinamidase were calculated. These parameters were: The change of electrical charge of the mutated amino acid, the change of volume of the mutated amino acid, the change of a special amino acid, the distance of the mutated amino acid to the active site, the distance of the mutated amino acid to the metal-coordination site, and the orientation of the side-chain of the mutated amino acid. The variability of the enzymatic activity of the recombinant pyrazinamidases, and the microbiological susceptibility to pyrazinamide determined by BACTEC 460TB, were modelled in multiple linear regressions. Physical-chemical and structural parameters of the mutated pyrazinamidases were tested as predictors. Structural and physical-chemical variations of the pyrazinamidase explained 75% of the variability of the enzymatic activity, 87% of the variability of the kinetic constant and 40% of the variability of the pyrazinamide-resistance level. Based on computer models of mutated pyrazinamidases, the structural parameters explained a high variability of the enzymatic function, and to a lesser extent the resistance level. 相似文献

Disentangling the perturbational effects of amino acid substitutions in the DNA-binding domain of p53 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The spectrum of somatic cancer-associated missense mutations in the human TP53 gene was studied in order to assess the potential
structural and functional importance of various intra-molecular properties associated with these substitutions. Relating the
observed frequency of particular amino acid substitutions in the p53 DNA-binding domain to their expected frequency, as calculated
from DNA sequence-dependent mutation rates, yielded estimates of their relative clinical observation likelihood (RCOL). Several
biophysical properties were found to display significant covariation with RCOL values. Thus RCOL values were observed to decrease
with increasing solvent accessibility of the substituted residue and with increasing distance from the p53 DNA-binding and
Zn2+-binding sites. The number of adverse steric interactions introduced by an amino acid replacement was found to be positively
correlated with its RCOL value, irrespective of the magnitude of the interactions. A gain in hydrogen bond number was found
to be only half as likely to come to clinical attention as mutations involving either a reduction or no change in hydrogen
bond number. When the difference in potential energy between the wild-type and mutant DNA-binding domains was considered,
RCOL values exhibited a minimum around changes of zero. Finally, classification of mutated residues in terms of their protein/solvent
environment yielded, for somatic p53 mutations, RCOL values that resembled those previously determined for inherited mutations
of human factor IX causing haemophilia B, suggesting that similar mechanisms may be responsible for the mutation-related perturbation
of biological function in different protein folds.

A covarion-based method for detecting molecular adaptation: application to the evolution of primate mitochondrial genomes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A new method for detecting site-specific variation of evolutionary rate (the so-called covarion process) from protein sequence data is proposed. It involves comparing the maximum-likelihood estimates of the replacement rate of an amino acid site in distinct subtrees of a large tree. This approach allows detection of covarion at the gene or the amino acid levels. The method is applied to mammalian-mitochondrial-protein sequences. Significant covarion-like evolution is found in the (simian) primate lineage: some amino acid positions are fast-evolving (i.e. unconstrained) in non-primate mammals but slow-evolving (i.e. highly constrained) in primates, and some show the opposite pattern. Our results indicate that the mitochondrial genome of primates reached a new peak of the adaptive landscape through positive selection. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Detection distance is an important and common auxiliary variable measured during avian point count surveys. Distance data are used to determine the area sampled and to model the detection process using distance sampling theory. In densely forested habitats, visual detections of birds are rare, and most estimates of detection distance are based on auditory cues. Distance sampling theory assumes detection distances are measured accurately, but empirical validation of this assumption for auditory detections is lacking. We used a song playback system to simulate avian point counts with known distances in a forested habitat to determine the error structure of distance estimates based on auditory detections. We conducted field evaluations with 6 experienced observers both before and after distance estimation training. We conducted additional studies to determine the effect of height and speaker orientation (toward or away from observers) on distance estimation error. Distance estimation errors for all evaluations were substantial, although training reduced errors and bias in distance estimates by approximately 15%. Measurement errors showed a nonlinear relationship to distance. Our results suggest observers were not able to differentiate distances beyond 65 m. The height from which we played songs had no effect on distance estimation errors in this habitat. The orientation of the song source did have a large effect on distance estimation errors; observers generally doubled their distance estimates for songs played away from them compared with distance estimates for songs played directly toward them. These findings, which we based on realistic field conditions, suggest measures of uncertainty in distance estimates to auditory detections are substantially higher than assumed by most researchers. This means aural point count estimates of avian abundance based on distance methods deserve careful scrutiny because they are likely biased. 相似文献

Four new crystal packings of Escherichia coli porins are presented (phosphoporin, maltoporin, and two crystal forms of matrix porin). These were determined by molecular replacement methods using a polyalanine trial model acquired from the refined coordinates of porin from Rhodobacter capsulatus. The successful molecular replacement shows that the dominant motif found in R. capsulatus porin (a 16-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel) also applies to the E. coli porins, despite the lack of significant amino acid sequence homology. A 30 degrees-40 degrees tilt of the beta-strands with respect to the membrane normal was derived from the intensity distributions in the X-ray diffraction patterns for each porin studied, stressing their similarity. In view of the evolutionary distance between enteric and photosynthetic bacteria, the antiparallel beta-barrel may have significance as a basic structural motif for the formation of bacterial membrane channel structures. 相似文献

Probability of detection and accuracy of distance estimates in aural avian surveys may be affected by the presence of anthropogenic noise, and this may lead to inaccurate evaluations of the effects of noisy infrastructure on wildlife. We used arrays of speakers broadcasting recordings of grassland bird songs and pure tones to assess the probability of detection, and localization accuracy, by observers at sites with and without noisy oil and gas infrastructure in south‐central Alberta from 2012 to 2014. Probability of detection varied with species and with speaker distance from transect line, but there were few effects of noisy infrastructure. Accuracy of distance estimates for songs and tones decreased as distance to observer increased, and distance estimation error was higher for tones at sites with infrastructure noise. Our results suggest that quiet to moderately loud anthropogenic noise may not mask detection of bird songs; however, errors in distance estimates during aural surveys may lead to inaccurate estimates of avian densities calculated using distance sampling. We recommend caution when applying distance sampling if most birds are unseen, and where ambient noise varies among treatments. 相似文献
