West Nile virus has evolved in concert with its expansion across North America, but little is known about the evolutionary dynamics of the virus on local scales. We analysed viral nucleotide sequences from mosquitoes collected in 2005, 2006, and 2007 from a known transmission ‘hot spot’ in suburban Chicago, USA. Within this approximately 11 × 14 km area, the viral envelope gene has increased approximately 0.1% yr−1 in nucleotide-level genetic diversity. In each year, viral diversity was higher in ‘residential’ sites characterized by dense housing than in more open ‘urban green space’ sites such as cemeteries and parks. Phylodynamic analyses showed an increase in incidence around 2005, consistent with a higher-than-average peak in mosquito and human infection rates that year. Analyses of times to most recent common ancestor suggest that WNV in 2005 and 2006 may have arisen predominantly from viruses present during 2004 and 2005, respectively, but that WNV in 2007 had an older common ancestor, perhaps indicating a predominantly mixed or exogenous origin. These results show that the population of WNV in suburban Chicago is an admixture of viruses that are both locally derived and introduced from elsewhere, containing evolutionary information aggregated across a breadth of spatial and temporal scales. 相似文献

Understanding the genetic basis of local adaptation is challenging due to the subtle balance among conflicting evolutionary forces that are involved in its establishment and maintenance. One system with which to tease apart these difficulties is clines in adaptive characters. Here we analyzed genetic and phenotypic variation in bud set, a highly heritable and adaptive trait, among 18 populations of Norway spruce (Picea abies), arrayed along a latitudinal gradient ranging from 47°N to 68°N. We confirmed that variation in bud set is strongly clinal, using a subset of five populations. Genotypes for 137 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) chosen from 18 candidate genes putatively affecting bud set and 308 control SNPs chosen from 264 random genes were analyzed for patterns of genetic structure and correlation to environment. Population genetic structure was low (F(ST) = 0.05), but latitudinal patterns were apparent among Scandinavian populations. Hence, part of the observed clinal variation should be attributable to population demography. Conditional on patterns of genetic structure, there was enrichment of SNPs within candidate genes for correlations with latitude. Twenty-nine SNPs were also outliers with respect to F(ST). The enrichment for clinal variation at SNPs within candidate genes (i.e., SNPs in PaGI, PaPhyP, PaPhyN, PaPRR7, and PaFTL2) indicated that local selection in the 18 populations, and/or selection in the ancestral populations from which they were recently derived, shaped the observed cline. Validation of these genes using expression studies also revealed that PaFTL2 expression is significantly associated with latitude, thereby confirming the central role played by this gene in the control of phenology in plants. 相似文献

The two clusters [HFe5NiN(CO)14]2− (1) and [HFe4Ni2N(CO)13]2− (2) were obtained by reaction of [Fe4N(CO)12]− and [Ni6(CO)12]2− in refluxing MeCN and EtCN, respectively, along with other Fe-Ni mixed metal clusters. Their solid state structures were determined on the [PPh4]+ salts, and both have an octahedral metal cage, containing an interstitial nitrogen atom. The two Ni atoms in 2 are cis, with a Ni-Ni separation of 2.724(1) Å. The two anions have different stereochemistry of the carbonyl ligands: in 1, five CO’s are semi-bridging, and the remaining nine are terminal; in 2 there are three asymmetric bridging and ten terminal ligands (two for each iron and one for each nickel). The hydride ligands were located in the final difference maps, both bridging a Ni-Fe edge of the clusters but, thanks to the better quality of the diffraction data, the metal-hydrogen distances were refined only in 2. In this cluster, the Fe-H and Ni-H bond lengths are 1.77(2) and 1.79(2) Å, respectively. 相似文献

Two thermophilic spore-forming strains, with optimum growth temperature at 70 °C, were isolated from compost of the “Experimental System of Composting” (Teora, Avellino, Italy). A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these organisms represented a new species of the genus Geobacillus. Based on polyphasic taxonomic data the strains represented a novel species for which the name Geobacillus galactosidasius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF1BT (= ATCC BAA-1450T = DSM 18751T). 相似文献

The mechanistic relationship between amyloid β1‐42 (Aβ1‐42) and the alteration of Tau protein are debated. We investigated the effect of Aβ1‐42 monomers and oligomers on Tau, using mice expressing wild‐type human Tau that do not spontaneously develop Tau pathology. After intraventricular injection of Aβ1‐42, mice were sacrificed after 3 h or 4 days. The short‐lasting treatment with Aβ monomers, but not oligomers, showed a conformational PHF‐like change of Tau, together with hyperphosphorylation. The same treatment induced increase in concentration of GSK3 and MAP kinases. The inhibition of the kinases rescued the Tau changes. Aβ monomers increased the levels of total Tau, through the inhibition of proteasomal degradation. Aβ oligomers reproduced all the aforementioned alterations only after 4 days of treatment. It is known that Aβ1‐42 monomers foster synaptic activity. Our results suggest that Aβ monomers physiologically favor Tau activity and dendritic sprouting, whereas their excess causes Tau pathology. Moreover, our study indicates that anti‐Aβ therapies should be targeted to Aβ1‐42 monomers too. 相似文献
