翘嘴鲌血红蛋白基因Hbs的克隆、分子特征及系统进化分析

研究通过克隆翘嘴鲌(Culter alburnus)血红蛋白基因,分析血红蛋白的分子特征及系统进化,探讨鱼类耐低氧的可能成因。研究克隆了翘嘴鲌血红蛋白家族中Hba1/2和Hbb1/2 cDNA序列,翻译后分别得到143、143、147和147个氨基酸。蛋白二级结构分析表明Hba1/2和Hbb1/2蛋白分别包含7和8个螺旋域、14和13个α1β2结合残基、12和16个亚铁血红素结合残基,均有16个α1β1结合残基,只有Hba1/2蛋白具有6个Bohr效应残基。与两栖类和哺乳类相比,鱼类Hba和Hbb蛋白功能域上分别有10和5个氨基酸残基替换位点,这很可能是为了使其适应水中的低氧环境。而耐低氧与不耐低氧鱼类相比,其蛋白二级结构并未发现一致性的替换,这表明鱼类的耐低氧特征很可能是受到上游信号通路的调控。通过系统发育关系表明Hba1/2和Hbb1/2基因亚型的复制事件很可能发生在脊椎动物全基因组复制之后且硬骨鱼类全基因组复制事件之前。值得注意的是在系统进化树上,与其他鱼类相比翘嘴鲌和斑马鱼在Hba1/2和Hbb1基因上有更近的亲缘关系,这很可能是由于其同属鲤形目且均不耐低氧所致。研究首次克隆了...

野桑蚕性信息素结合蛋白基因pbp1、气味受体基因or1和or3的克隆及其与家蚕同源基因的进化分析

昆虫能够特异性识别同类异性。雄蚕蛾对雌蚕蛾感知定位过程中, 性信息素结合蛋白PBP1、气味受体OR1和OR3起重要作用。为研究家蚕Bombyx mori和野桑蚕Bombyx mandarina杂交困难的分子机制, 了解性识别相关基因的进化, 本研究克隆得到了野桑蚕的性信息素结合蛋白基因pbp1（GenBank注册号：GQ246497）和气味受体基因or1（Genank注册号：GQ246496）和or3（GenBank注册号：GQ246498）。序列分析发现, 家蚕与野桑蚕相比, pbp1基因存在4个SNP位点, 分别为C10A, A40T, T270C和A333G, 其中2个SNP位点引起氨基酸的改变, 分别为Q→K和N→Y; or1基因存在5个SNP位点, 分别为T910C, A1147C, A1192T, T1276C和G1282A, 其中1个SNP位点引起氨基酸F→L的改变; or3基因存在4个SNP位点, 分别为A507G, A513G, T605C和G672A, 其中1个SNP位点引起氨基酸I→T的改变。3个基因的遗传距离很近, 进化速率也很慢。氨基酸的分子量和等电点有细微差异或无差异。PHD预测的二级结构表明, 变异位点对附近区域的结构没有任何影响, 功能位点也没有变化。推测家蚕与野桑蚕之间, 这些基因功能可能没有差异, 即二者的雌雄性个体间可以相互感知、识别, 这与实验观察结果一致。     

The rpb2 gene represents a viable alternative molecular marker for the analysis of environmental fungal communities

Although the commonly used internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA (ITS) is well suited for taxonomic identification of fungi, the information on the relative abundance of taxa and diversity is negatively affected by the multicopy nature of rDNA and the existence of ITS paralogues. Moreover, due to high variability, ITS sequences cannot be used for phylogenetic analyses of unrelated taxa. The part of single‐copy gene encoding the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (rpb2) was thus compared with first spacer of ITS as an alternative marker for the analysis of fungal communities in spruce forest topsoil, and their applicability was tested on a comprehensive mock community. In soil, rpb2 exhibited broad taxonomic coverage of the entire fungal tree of life including basal fungal lineages. The gene exhibited sufficient variation for the use in phylogenetic analyses and taxonomic assignments, although it amplifies also paralogues. The fungal taxon spectra obtained with rbp2 region and ITS1 corresponded, but sequence abundance differed widely, especially in the basal lineages. The proportions of OTU counts and read counts of major fungal groups were close to the reality when rpb2 was used as a molecular marker while they were strongly biased towards the Basidiomycota when using the ITS primers ITS1/ITS4. Although the taxonomic placement of rbp2 sequences is currently more difficult than that of the ITS sequences, its discriminative power, quantitative representation of community composition and suitability for phylogenetic analyses represent significant advantages.     

Polymorphism in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA among different Fusarium species

Fusarium species causing wilt diseases in different plants were characterised by comparing nonpathogenic and different pathogenic species using rDNA RFLP analysis. The ITS (internal transcribed spacer) region of 12 isolates belonging to the section Elegans, Laseola, Mortiella, Discolor, Gibbosum, Lateritium and Sporotrichiella were amplified by universal ITS primers (ITS-1 and ITS-4) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Amplified products, which ranged from 522 to 565 bp were obtained from all 12 Fusarium isolates. The amplified products were digested with seven restriction enzymes, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns were analysed. A dendrogram derived from PCR-RFLP analysis of the rDNA region divided the Fusarium isolates into three major groups. Assessment of molecular variability based on rDNA RFLP clearly indicated that Fusarium species are heterogeneous and most of the forma speciales have close evolutionary relationships.

Phylogenetic origin of Beckmannia （Poaceae） inferred from molecular evidence

The phylogenetic origin of Beckmannia remains unknown. The genus has been placed within the Chlorideae, Aveneae （Agrostideae）, Poeae, or treated as an isolate lineage, Beckmanniinae. In the present study, we used nuclear internal transcribed spacer （ITS） and chloroplast trnL-F sequences to examine the phylogenetic relationship between Beckmannia and those genera that have assumed to be related. On the basis of the results of our studies, the following conclusions could be drawn： （i） Beckmannia and Alopecurus are sister groups with high support; and （ii） Beckmannia and Alopecurus are nested in the Poeae clade with high support. The results of our analysis suggest that Beckmannia should be placed in Poeae.     

Phylogenetic analysis of eastern Asian and eastern North American disjunct Lespedeza (Fabaceae) inferred from nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid region sequences

Lespedeza (tribe Desmodieae, Fabaceae) follows a disjunct distribution in eastern Asia and eastern North America. Phylogenetic relationships among its species and related taxa were inferred from nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid sequences (trnH‐psbA, psbK‐psbI, trnK‐matK and rpoC1). We examined 35 species of Lespedeza, two of Kummerowia and one of Campylotropis, the sole constituents of the Lespedeza group. An analysis of these data revealed that the genus Campylotropis is sister to the other two genera. However, we were unable to resolve the relationships between Kummerowia and Lespedeza in the strict consensus trees of parsimony analyses based on plastid and combined DNA data. In the genus Lespedeza, the Old World subgenus Macrolespedeza is monophyletic, whereas the transcontinental subgenus Lespedeza is paraphyletic. Monophyly of eastern Asian species and of North American species is strongly supported. Although inconsistent with the traditional classification, this phylogenetic finding is consistent with seedling morphology. Three subgroups recognized in subgenus Macrolespedeza were unresolved in our phylogenetic trees. An incongruence length difference (ILD) test indicated that the two partitions (nuclear ITS and plastid sequences) were significantly incongruent, perhaps because of hybridization between species in Lespedeza. Most of the primary clades of tribe Desmodieae are Asian, implying that the relatively few New World ones, such as those in Lespedeza, are more recently derived from Asia. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 164 , 221–235.     

AFLP phylogeny of Mimulus section Erythranthe and the evolution of hummingbird pollination

Abstract.— Species in Mimulus section Erythranthe (monkeyflowers) have become model systems for the study of the genetic basis of ecological adaptations. In this study, we pursued two goals. First, we reconstructed the phylogeny of species in Erythranthe using both DNA sequences from the ribosomal DNA ITS and ETS and AFLPs. Data from rDNA sequences support the monophyly of the section, including M. parishii, but provide little support for relationships within it. Analyses using AFLP data resulted in a well-supported hypothesis of relationships among all Erythranthe species. Our second goal was to reconstruct ancestral pollination syndromes and ancestral states of individual characters associated with hummingbird-pollinated flowers. Both parsimony and likelihood approaches indicate that hummingbird pollination evolved twice in Erythranthe from insect-pollinated ancestors. Our reconstruction of individual characters indicates that corolla color and some aspects of corolla shape change states at the same point on the phylogenetic tree as the switch to hummingbird pollination; however, a switch to secretion of high amounts of nectar does not. Floral trait transformation may have been more punctuational than gradual.     

Rapid and reliable high-throughput methods of DNA extraction for use in barcoding and molecular systematics of mushrooms

We present two methods for DNA extraction from fresh and dried mushrooms that are adaptable to high-throughput sequencing initiatives, such as DNA barcoding. Our results show that these protocols yield ∼85% sequencing success from recently collected materials. Tests with both recent (<2 year) and older (>100 years) specimens reveal that older collections have low success rates and may be an inefficient resource for populating a barcode database. However, our method of extracting DNA from herbarium samples using small amount of tissue is reliable and could be used for important historical specimens. The application of these protocols greatly reduces time, and therefore cost, of generating DNA sequences from mushrooms and other fungi vs. traditional extraction methods. The efficiency of these methods illustrates that standardization and streamlining of sample processing should be shifted from the laboratory to the field.
