对残锷线蛱蝶(Parathymasulpitia)(鳞翅目:蛱蝶科)线粒体基因组全序列进行了测定。结果表明:残锷线蛱蝶线粒体基因组全序列全长为15268bp,除了在trnS1(AGN)和trnE基因之间有一段121bp长的基因间隔外,其基因的排列顺序及排列方向与大多数已测鳞翅目物种基本一致。在蛋白质编码基因中,除cox1以CGA作为其起始密码子之外,其余12个蛋白质编码基因都以标准的ATN作为起始密码子。此外,除nad4基因以单独的T为终止密码子,其余12个蛋白质编码基因都以TAA结尾。除trnS1(AGN)缺少DHU臂之外,22个tRNA基因都显示典型的三叶草形二级结构。除A+T富集区外的非编码序列中,线粒体基因组共含有11个基因间隔区。其中,最长的一个121bp的基因间隔区位于trnS1(AGN)和trnE之间,其A+T含量高达100%。另外,和其他鳞翅目物种一样,在其A+T富集区的3’端有一段长达18bp的poly-T结构。A+T富集区内部没有明显的小卫星样多拷贝重复序列,而含有一些微卫星样的重复结构。本研究基于13种蛋白编码基因序列的组合数据,用最大似然法和贝叶斯法对蛱蝶科几个主要亚科间共9个代表物种间的系统发生关系进行了分析。结果表明,本研究的结果与前人的分子系统学研究结论基本吻合(其中,线蛱蝶亚科和釉蛱蝶亚科互为姐妹群),而与形态学的研究结论不一致。     

Phylogenetic analyses of the harvest mouse,Micromys minutus (Rodentia: Muridae) based on the complete mitogenome sequences

Harvest Mouse (Micromys minutus) has a very wide range of distribution in Asia and Europe. However, the phylogenetic relationship of M. minutus is still uncertain. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences of M. minutus, and used the complete mitochondrial genome sequences constructed the phylogenetic tree of Muroidea. The size of the genome is 16,232 bp in length and has a base composition of 33.6% A, 29.1% T, 24.8% C, and 12.5% G. The mitogenome structure was similar to that of typical vertebrate and other rodents' mitochondrial genomes, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region. We suggested a new initiation codon for ND5 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit), which has been never reported in the mitochondrial genome of vertebrate. The ML and BI phylogenetic trees, which based on the combination of the 12 protein-coding genes, supported strongly that the genus Micromys was represent an early offshoot within the Muridae with high support values (BI = 1.00, ML = 100).

采用长距 PCR 扩增及保守引物步移法并结合克隆测序测定并注释了云斑车蝗 Gastrimargus marmoratus （Thunberg）的线粒体基因组全序列。结果表明：云斑车蝗线粒体基因组全序列为15 904 bp（GenBank登录号为EU527334）,A+T含量略高于非洲飞蝗Locusta migratoria,为76.04%,包括13个蛋白质编码基因,22个tRNA 基因,2个rRNA基因和一段1 057 bp的A+T富集区。蛋白质基因的起始密码子中,除COⅠ和ND5为TTG以外,均为昆虫典型的起始密码子ATN。ND5基因使用了不完全终止密码子T,其余基因均为典型的TAA或TAG。预测了22个tRNA基因的二级结构,发现tRNA^Ser（AGN）缺少DHU臂, tRNA^Ser（UGY）的反密码子环上有9个碱基。预测了云斑车蝗12S和16S rRNA二级结构,分别包括3个结构域30个茎环和6个结构域44个茎环。A+T富集区含有3个串联重复序列。     

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Asiatic cavity-nesting honeybee Apis cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Apis cerana, the Asiatic cavity-nesting honeybee. We present here an analysis of features of its gene content and genome organization in comparison with Apis mellifera to assess the variation within the genus Apis and among main groups of Hymenoptera. The size of the entire mt genome of A. cerana is 15,895 bp, containing 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and one control region. These genes are transcribed from both strands and have a nucleotide composition high in A and T. The contents of A+T of the complete genomes are 83.96% for A. cerana. The AT bias had a significant effect on both the codon usage pattern and amino acid composition of proteins. There are a total of 3672 codons in all 13 protein-coding genes, excluding termination codons. The most frequently used amino acid is Leu (15.52%), followed by Ile (12.85%), Phe (10.10%), Ser (9.15%) and Met (8.96%). Intergenic regions in the mt genome of A. cerana are 705 bp in total. The order and orientation of the gene arrangement pattern is identical to that of A. mellifera, except for the position of the tRNA-Ser(AGN) gene. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes, with three different computational algorithms (NJ, MP and ML), all revealed two distinct groups with high statistical support, indicating that A. cerana and A. mellifera are two separate species, consistent with results of previous morphological and molecular studies. The complete mtDNA sequence of A. cerana provides additional genetic markers for studying population genetics, systematics and phylogeographics of honeybees.     

Complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Taenia saginata: comparison with T. solium and T. asiatica

The complete sequence of the Taenia saginata mitochondrial genome was determined, and its organization and structure were compared to other human-tropic Taenia tapeworms for which complete mitochondrial sequence data were available. The mitochondrial genome was 13,670 bp long, contained 12 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs, a small and a large subunit), and 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs). It did not encode the atp8 gene. Overlapping regions were found between nad4L and nad4, nad1 and trnN, and cox1 and trnT. The ATG initiation codon was used for 10 protein-coding genes, and the GTG initiation codon was used for the remaining 2 genes (nad4 and atp6). The size of the protein-coding genes of the three human Taenia tapeworms did not vary, except for Taenia solium nad1 (891 aa) and nad4 (1212 aa) and Taenia asiatica cox2 (576 aa). The tRNA genes were 57-75 bp long, and the predicted secondary structures of 18 of these genes had typical clover-leaf shapes with paired dihydrouridine (DHU) arms. The genes in all human Taenia tapeworms for the two mitochondrial rRNA subunits rrnL and rrnS are separated by trnC. The putative T. saginata rrnL and rrnS are 972 and 732 bp long, respectively. The non-coding regions of the mt genome of T. saginata consisted of 2 regions: a short non-coding region (SNR, 66 nucleotides) and a long non-coding region (LNR, 159 nucleotides). The overall sequence difference in the full mitochondrial genome between T. saginata and T. asiatica was 4.6%, while T. solium differed by 11%. In conclusion, the complete sequence of the T. saginata mitochondrial genome will serve as a resource for comparative mitochondrial genomics and systematic studies of the parasitic cestodes.     

The complete mitochondrial genome of the damsel bug Alloeorhynchus bakeri (Hemiptera: Nabidae)

The complete sequence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the damsel bug, Alloeorhynchus bakeri, has been completed and annotated in this study. It represents the first sequenced mitochondrial genome of heteropteran family Nabidae. The circular genome is 15, 851 bp in length with an A+T content of 73.5%, contains the typical 37 genes that are arranged in the same order as that of the putative ancestor of hexapods. Nucleotide composition and codon usage are similar to other known heteropteran mitochondrial genomes. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) use standard initiation codons (methionine and isoleucine), except COI, which started with TTG. Canonical TAA and TAG termination codons are found in eight protein-coding genes, the remaining five (COI, COII, COIII, ND5, ND1) have incomplete termination codons (T or TA). PCGs of two strands present opposite CG skew which is also reflected by the nucleotide composition and codon usage. All tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf structure, except the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of tRNA(Ser (AGN))which forms a simple loop as known in many other metazoa. Secondary structure models of the ribosomal RNA genes of A. bakeri are presented, similar to those proposed for other insect orders. There are six domains and 45 helices and three domains and 27 helices in the secondary structures of rrnL and rrnS, respectively. The major non-coding region (also called control region) between the small ribosomal subunit and the tRNA(Ile )gene includes two special regions. The first region includes four 133 bp tandem repeat units plus a partial copy of the repeat (28 bp of the beginning), and the second region at the end of control region contains 4 potential stem-loop structures. Finally, PCGs sequences were used to perform a phylogenetic study. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses highly support Nabidae as the sister group to Anthocoridae and Miridae.

斑翅草螽线粒体基因组序列测定与分析

已经测定的昆虫线粒体基因组中, 直翅目草螽亚科的疑钩额螽Ruspolia dubia线粒体控制区长度最短, 仅70 bp。为此, 本研究采用L-PCR结合二次PCR扩增策略对另一种草螽亚科昆虫斑翅草螽Conocephalus maculates线粒体基因组序列进行了测定。序列注释发现: 斑翅草螽线粒体基因组序列全长15 898 bp, A+T含量为72.05%, 基因排列与典型的节肢动物线粒体基因组一致。全部蛋白质编码基因以典型的ATN作为起始密码子, 9个蛋白质编码基因具有完整的终止密码子, 其余4个以不完整的T作为终止信号。除trnS^AGN外, 其余21个tRNAs均可折叠形成典型的三叶草结构, 依照Steinberg等(1997)线粒体特殊tRNA结构类型-9, trnS^AGN的DHU臂形成一个7 nt环, 反密码子臂则长达9 bp, 含1个突起碱基, 而不是正常的5 bp。斑翅草螽与其他直翅目昆虫线粒体基因组的主要区别在于, 在trnS^UCN和nad1, nad1和trnL^CUN基因间各存在一段罕见的、大段的基因间隔序列, 长度分别为78 bp和360 bp。其中, 位于nad1和trnL^CUN之间的基因间隔序列N链可形成一个包含完整起始、终止密码子(ATT/TAA)、编码103个氨基酸的未知开放阅读框。同义密码子使用偏好与线粒体基因组编码的tRNA反密码子匹配情况无关, 但与密码子第3位点的碱基组成紧密相关; 相对密码子使用频率(relative synonymous codon usage, RSCU)大于1的密码子, 其第3位点全部是A或T。在已经测定的直翅目昆虫线粒体基因组tRNAs中, 均存在一定数量的碱基错配, 且以G-U弱配对为主, 表明G-U配对在线粒体基因组中可能是一种正常的碱基配对形式。本研究测定的斑翅草螽线粒体基因组序列, 和先前已经测定的直翅目线粒体基因组序列一起, 可以为重建直翅目的进化历史提供数据资源。     

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genomes of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis and Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

The complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis and Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were determined and analyzed. The circular genomes were 15,388 bp long for C. medinalis and 15,395 bp long for C. suppressalis. Both mitogenomes contained 37 genes, with gene order similar to that of other lepidopterans. Notably, 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs) utilized the standard ATN, but the cox1 gene used CGA as the initiation codon; the cox1, cox2, and nad4 genes in the two mitogenomes had the truncated termination codons T, T, and TA, respectively, but the nad5 gene was found to use T as the termination codon only in the C. medinalis mitogenome. Additionally, the codon distribution and Relative Synonymous Codon Usage of the 13 PCGs in the C. medinalis mitogenome were very different from those in other pyralid moth mitogenomes. Most of the tRNA genes had typical cloverleaf secondary structures. However, the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of the trnS1(AGN) gene did not form a stable stem-loop structure. Forty-nine helices in six domains, and 33 helices in three domains were present in the secondary structures of the rrnL and rrnS genes of the two mitogenomes, respectively. There were four major intergenic spacers, except for the A+T-rich region, spanning at least 12 bp in the two mitogenomes. The A+T-rich region contained an 'ATAGT(A)'-like motif followed by a poly-T stretch in the two mitogenomes. In addition, there were a potential stem-loop structure, a duplicated 25-bp repeat element, and a microsatellite '(TA)(13)' observed in the A+T-rich region of the C. medinalis mitogenome. A poly-T motif, a duplicated 31-bp repeat element, and a 19-bp triplication were found in the C. suppressalis mitogenome. However, there are many differences in the A+T-rich regions between the C. suppressalis mitogenome sequence in the present study and previous reports. Finally, the phylogenetic relationships of these insects were reconstructed based on amino acid sequences of mitochondrial 13 PCGs using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods. These molecular-based phylogenies support the traditional morphologically based view of relationships within the Pyralidae.     

The complete mitochondrial genome of the sycamore lace bug Corythucha ciliata (Hemiptera: Tingidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the sycamore lace bug, Corythucha ciliata, was sequenced in this study. It represents the first sequenced mitogenome of family Tingidae in Heteroptera. The mitogenome of C. ciliata is 15,257 bp and contains 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and a large non-coding region. Gene arrangement, nucleotide content, codon usage, and amino acid composition and asymmetry indicate a high degree of conservation with six other species of Cimicomorpha. The 13 PCGs initiated with ATN as the start codon and terminated with TAA, TA or T as stop codon. The evolutionary rate of each PCG was different, among which ATP8 showed the highest rate while ATP6 indicated the lowest rate. The 22 tRNAs genes apparently fold into a typical cloverleaf structure; however, the anticodon (TTC) of trnSer (AGN) differs from other Heteropteran insects. Secondary structure modeling of rRNA genes revealed similarity to other insects, except for two incomplete helices (H1648 and H2735) in lrRNA. The predicted secondary structure of lrRNA indicates 45 helices in six domains, whereas srRNA has 27 helices in three domains. Three potential stem–loops and two tandem repeats (–TCTAAT–) were identified in the A+T-rich region. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. ciliata is a sister group to other Heteroptera species based on analysis of the 13 PCGs.     

红足壮异蝽Urochela quadrinotata Reuter线粒体基因组的测定与分析

研究测定并分析了红足壮异蝽Urochela quadrinotata Reuter的线粒体基因组全序列。该线粒体基因组全长16585bp(GenBank登录号为JQ743678),A+T含量为75.4%,共编码35个基因,包括13个蛋白质基因、20个tRNA基因(两个tRNA基因,即tRNAIle和tRNAGln未被检测到)、2个rRNA基因及一段较长的非编码区(控制区,亦称A+T富含区)。基因排序与大部分昆虫的线粒体基因排列方式相同,没有发生基因重排。除tRNASer(AGN)的DHU臂无法形成典型的茎环结构,其余tRNA基因均能稳定形成典型的三叶草二级结构。预测了红足壮异蝽16S和12S rRNA的二级结果,分别包括6个结构域43个茎环和3个结构域27茎环。控制区含一个长1652bp的串联重复区域,由16个串联重复单元组成。     

Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequences of the Threadfin Cichlid (Petrochromis trewavasae) and the Blunthead Cichlid (Tropheus moorii) and Patterns of Mitochondrial Genome Evolution in Cichlid Fishes

The cichlid fishes of the East African Great Lakes represent a model especially suited to study adaptive radiation and speciation. With several African cichlid genome projects being in progress, a promising set of closely related genomes is emerging, which is expected to serve as a valuable data base to solve questions on genotype-phenotype relations. The mitochondrial (mt) genomes presented here are the first results of the assembly and annotation process for two closely related but eco-morphologically highly distinct Lake Tanganyika cichlids, Petrochromis trewavasae and Tropheus moorii. The genomic sequences comprise 16,588 bp (P. trewavasae) and 16,590 bp (T. moorii), and exhibit the typical mitochondrial structure, with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a non-coding control region. Analyses confirmed that the two species are very closely related with an overall sequence similarity of 96%. We analyzed the newly generated sequences in the phylogenetic context of 21 published labroid fish mitochondrial genomes. Consistent with other vertebrates, the D-loop region was found to evolve faster than protein-coding genes, which in turn are followed by the rRNAs; the tRNAs vary greatly in the rate of sequence evolution, but on average evolve the slowest. Within the group of coding genes, ND6 evolves most rapidly. Codon usage is similar among examined cichlid tribes and labroid families; although a slight shift in usage patterns down the gene tree could be observed. Despite having a clearly different nucleotide composition, ND6 showed a similar codon usage. C-terminal ends of Cox1 exhibit variations, where the varying number of amino acids is related to the structure of the obtained phylogenetic tree. This variation may be of functional relevance for Cox1 synthesis.     

Structure and evolution of the mitochondrial genome of Exorista sorbillans: the Tachinidae (Diptera: Calyptratae) perspective

The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Tachinidae Exorista sorbillans (Diptera) is sequenced by PCR-based approach. The circular mitogenome is 14,960?bp long and has the representative mitochondrial gene (mt gene) organization and order of Diptera. All protein-coding sequences are initiated with ATN codon; however, the only exception is Cox I gene, which has a 4-bp ATCG putative start codon. Ten of the thirteen protein-coding genes have a complete termination codon (TAA), but the rest are seated on the H strand with incomplete codons. The mitogenome of E. sorbillans is biased toward A+T content at 78.4?%, and the strand-specific bias is in reflection of the third codon positions of mt genes, and their T/C ratios as strand indictor are higher on the H strand more than those on the L strand pointing at any strain of seven Diptera flies. The length of the A+T-rich region of E. sorbillans is 106?bp, including a tandem triple copies of a13-bp fragment. Compared to Haematobia irritans, E. sorbillans holds distant relationship with Drosophila. Phylogenetic topologies based on the amino acid sequences, supporting that E. sorbillans (Tachinidae) is clustered with strains of Calliphoridae and Oestridae, and superfamily Oestroidea are polyphyletic groups with Muscidae in a clade.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the longtooth grouper Epinephelus bruneus (Perciformes, Serranidae)

We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome for the longtooth grouper, Epinephelus bruneus (Perciformes, Serranidae). This mt genome, consisting of 16,686 base pairs (bp), encoded genes for 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a noncoding control region as those found in other vertebrates, with the gene order identical to that of typical vertebrates. A major noncoding region between the trnP and trnF genes (991 bp) was considered to be the control region (D-loop). Within this sequence, 22 copies of a 17-bp tandem repeat element, 5'-TGATATTACATATATGC-3', were identified in the control region unlike previous reported Epinephelus species.

The First Mitochondrial Genomes of Antlion (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) and Split-footed Lacewing (Neuroptera: Nymphidae), with Phylogenetic Implications of Myrmeleontiformia

In the holometabolous insect order Neuroptera (lacewings), the cosmopolitan Myrmeleontidae (antlions) are the most species-rich family, while the closely related Nymphidae (split-footed lacewings) are a small endemic family from the Australian-Malesian region. Both families belong to the suborder Myrmeleontiformia, within which controversial hypotheses on the interfamilial phylogenetic relationships exist. Herein, we describe the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of an antlion (Myrmeleon immanis Walker, 1853) and a split-footed lacewing (Nymphes myrmeleonoides Leach, 1814), representing the first mt genomes for both families. These mt genomes are relatively small (respectively composed of 15,799 and 15,713 bp) compared to other lacewing mt genomes, and comprise 37 genes (13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes). The arrangement of these two mt genomes is the same as in most derived Neuroptera mt genomes previously sequenced, specifically with a translocation of trnC. The start codons of all PCGs are started by ATN, with an exception of cox1, which is ACG in the M. immanis mt genome and TCG in N. myrmeleonoides. All tRNA genes have a typical clover-leaf structure of mitochondrial tRNA, with the exception of trnS1(AGN). The secondary structures of rrnL and rrnS are similar with those proposed insects and the domain I contains nine helices rather than eight helices, which is common within Neuroptera. A phylogenetic analysis based on the mt genomic data for all Neuropterida sequenced thus far, supports the monophyly of Myrmeleontiformia and the sister relationship between Ascalaphidae and Myrmeleontidae.

采用LongPCR和引物步移法测得大豆蚜Aphis glycines Matsumura线粒体基因组约90%的序列,并与蚜总科Aphidoidea已报道的3种蚜虫进行了比较。结果表明:已测得的序列长度为13696bp,AT含量为83.3%;蛋白质编码基因起始密码子都为ATN,COI、ND4、CYTB、ND2使用不完整终止密码子T,其余都使用常见终止密码子TAA;15个tRNA基因除tRNA-W外都能折叠成典型的三叶草二级结构。比较大豆蚜、豌豆蚜Acyrthosiphon pisum(Harris)、麦二叉蚜Schizaphis graminum(Rondani)和葡萄根瘤蚜Daktulosphaira vitifoliae(Fitch)的线粒体基因组,结果表明4个种均具有后生动物线粒体基因组中常见的基因,基因顺序与假想昆虫祖先的排列方式相同,但豌豆蚜包含3个tRNA-M;蛋白质编码基因的起始密码子都为ATN,除葡萄根瘤蚜外,其他3种蚜虫的COⅠ、ND4使用不完整终止密码子T;tRNA-W的二级结构中都存在TψC臂中"茎"的结构缺失,只有环的结构;而蛋白质编码基因使用最频繁的氨基酸略有不同,大豆蚜为Leu,豌豆蚜和麦二叉蚜为Ile;大豆蚜和麦二叉蚜的ND4/ND4L都存在7bp的重叠序列,而豌豆蚜和葡萄根瘤蚜没有发现此现象。
