    Dynamics of Dark-Fly Genome Under Environmental Selections (2016)
    Genetics Society of America (GSA)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-02-05
    Description: Environmental adaptation is one of the most fundamental features of organisms. Modern genome science has identified some genes associated with adaptive traits of organisms, and has provided insights into environmental adaptation and evolution. However, how genes contribute to adaptive traits and how traits are selected under an environment in the course of evolution remain mostly unclear. To approach these issues, we utilize "Dark-fly", a Drosophila melanogaster line maintained in constant dark conditions for more than 60 years. Our previous analysis identified 220,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Dark-fly genome, but did not clarify which SNPs of Dark-fly are truly adaptive for living in the dark. We found here that Dark-fly dominated over the wild-type fly in a mixed population under dark conditions, and based on this domination we designed an experiment for genome reselection to identify adaptive genes of Dark-fly. For this experiment, large mixed populations of Dark-fly and the wild-type fly were maintained in light conditions or in dark conditions, and the frequencies of Dark-fly SNPs were compared between these populations across the whole genome. We thereby detected condition-dependent selections toward approximately 6% of the genome. In addition, we observed the time-course trajectory of SNP frequency in the mixed populations through generations 0, 22, and 49, which resulted in notable categorization of the selected SNPs into three types with different combinations of positive and negative selections. Our data provided a list of about 100 strong candidate genes associated with the adaptive traits of Dark-fly.

    Lineage-Specific Expansion of Vomeronasal Type 2 Receptor-Like (OlfC) Genes in Cichlids May Contribute to Diversification of Amino Acid Detection Systems (2013)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-04-17
    Description: Fish use olfaction to sense a variety of nonvolatile chemical signals in water. However, the evolutionary importance of olfaction in species-rich cichlids is controversial. Here, we determined an almost complete sequence of the vomeronasal type 2 receptor-like ( OlfC : putative amino acids receptor in teleosts) gene cluster using the bacterial artificial chromosome library of the Lake Victoria cichlid, Haplochromis chilotes . In the cluster region, we found 61 intact OlfC genes, which is the largest number of OlfC genes identified among the seven teleost fish investigated to date. Data mining of the Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) draft genome sequence, and genomic Southern hybridization analysis revealed that the ancestor of all modern cichlids had already developed almost the same OlfC gene repertoire, which was accomplished by lineage-specific gene expansions. Furthermore, comparison of receptor sequences showed that recently duplicated paralogs are more variable than orthologs of different species at particular sites that were predicted to be involved in amino acid selectivity. Thus, the increase of paralogs through gene expansion may lead to functional diversification in detection of amino acids. This study implies that cichlids have developed a potent capacity to detect a variety of amino acids (and their derivatives) through OlfCs, which may have contributed to the extraordinary diversity of their feeding habitats.

    Single-neuron and genetic correlates of autistic behavior in macaque (2016)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-09-23
    Description: Atypical neurodevelopment in autism spectrum disorder is a mystery, defying explanation despite increasing attention. We report on a Japanese macaque that spontaneously exhibited autistic traits, namely, impaired social ability as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors, along with our single-neuron and genomic analyses. Its social ability was measured in a turn-taking task, where two monkeys monitor each other’s actions for adaptive behavioral planning. In its brain, the medial frontal neurons responding to others’ actions, abundant in the controls, were almost nonexistent. In its genes, whole-exome sequencing and copy number variation analyses identified rare coding variants linked to human neuropsychiatric disorders in 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 2C ( HTR2C ) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–binding cassette subfamily A13 ( ABCA13 ). This combination of systems neuroscience and cognitive genomics in macaques suggests a new, phenotype-to-genotype approach to studying mental disorders.

    ERAD glycan signal in Arabidopsis [Plant Biology] (2012)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-07-11
    Description: Asparagine-linked glycans (N-glycans) are crucial signals for protein folding, quality control, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) in yeast and mammals. Although similar ERAD processes were reported in plants, little is known about their biochemical mechanisms, especially their relationships with N-glycans. Here, we show that a missense mutation in the Arabidopsis EMS-mutagenized bri1 suppressor 3 (EBS3) gene suppresses a dwarf mutant, bri1-9, the phenotypes of which are caused by ER retention and ERAD of a brassinosteroid receptor, BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE 1 (BR1). EBS3 encodes the Arabidopsis ortholog of the yeast asparagine-linked glycosylation 9 (ALG9), which catalyzes the ER luminal addition of two terminal α1,2 mannose (Man) residues in assembling the three-branched N-glycan precursor [glucose(Glc)]3(Man)9[N-acetylglucosamine(GlcNAc)]2. Consistent with recent discoveries revealing the importance of the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 C-branch in generating an ERAD signal, the ebs3-1 mutation prevents the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 assembly and inhibits the ERAD of bri1-9. By contrast, overexpression of EBS4 in ebs3-1 bri1-9, which encodes the Arabidopsis ortholog of the yeast ALG12 catalyzing the ER luminal α1,6 Man addition, adds an α1,6 Man to the truncated N-glycan precursor accumulated in ebs3-1 bri1-9, promotes the bri1-9 ERAD, and neutralizes the ebs3-1 suppressor phenotype. Furthermore, a transfer (T)-DNA insertional alg3-T2 mutation, which causes accumulation of an even smaller N-glycan precursor carrying a different exposed α1,6 Man, promotes the ERAD of bri1-9 and enhances its dwarfism. Taken together, our results strongly suggest that the glycan signal to mark an ERAD client in Arabidopsis is likely conserved to be an α1,6 Man-exposed N-glycan.

    Construction and analysis of a human-chimpanzee comparative clone map (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-01-05
    Description: The recently released human genome sequences provide us with reference data to conduct comparative genomic research on primates, which will be important to understand what genetic information makes us human. Here we present a first-generation human-chimpanzee comparative genome map and its initial analysis. The map was constructed through paired alignment of 77,461 chimpanzee bacterial artificial chromosome end sequences with publicly available human genome sequences. We detected candidate positions, including two clusters on human chromosome 21 that suggest large, nonrandom regions of difference between the two genomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fujiyama, Asao -- Watanabe, Hidemi -- Toyoda, Atsushi -- Taylor, Todd D -- Itoh, Takehiko -- Tsai, Shih-Feng -- Park, Hong-Seog -- Yaspo, Marie-Laure -- Lehrach, Hans -- Chen, Zhu -- Fu, Gang -- Saitou, Naruya -- Osoegawa, Kazutoyo -- de Jong, Pieter J -- Suto, Yumiko -- Hattori, Masahira -- Sakaki, Yoshiyuki -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jan 4;295(5552):131-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉RIKEN Genomic Sciences Center, 1-7-22 Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 230-0045, Japan. afujiyam@gsc.riken.go.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11778049" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The amphioxus genome and the evolution of the chordate karyotype (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-06-20
    Description: Lancelets ('amphioxus') are the modern survivors of an ancient chordate lineage, with a fossil record dating back to the Cambrian period. Here we describe the structure and gene content of the highly polymorphic approximately 520-megabase genome of the Florida lancelet Branchiostoma floridae, and analyse it in the context of chordate evolution. Whole-genome comparisons illuminate the murky relationships among the three chordate groups (tunicates, lancelets and vertebrates), and allow not only reconstruction of the gene complement of the last common chordate ancestor but also partial reconstruction of its genomic organization, as well as a description of two genome-wide duplications and subsequent reorganizations in the vertebrate lineage. These genome-scale events shaped the vertebrate genome and provided additional genetic variation for exploitation during vertebrate evolution.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Putnam, Nicholas H -- Butts, Thomas -- Ferrier, David E K -- Furlong, Rebecca F -- Hellsten, Uffe -- Kawashima, Takeshi -- Robinson-Rechavi, Marc -- Shoguchi, Eiichi -- Terry, Astrid -- Yu, Jr-Kai -- Benito-Gutierrez, E Lia -- Dubchak, Inna -- Garcia-Fernandez, Jordi -- Gibson-Brown, Jeremy J -- Grigoriev, Igor V -- Horton, Amy C -- de Jong, Pieter J -- Jurka, Jerzy -- Kapitonov, Vladimir V -- Kohara, Yuji -- Kuroki, Yoko -- Lindquist, Erika -- Lucas, Susan -- Osoegawa, Kazutoyo -- Pennacchio, Len A -- Salamov, Asaf A -- Satou, Yutaka -- Sauka-Spengler, Tatjana -- Schmutz, Jeremy -- Shin-I, Tadasu -- Toyoda, Atsushi -- Bronner-Fraser, Marianne -- Fujiyama, Asao -- Holland, Linda Z -- Holland, Peter W H -- Satoh, Nori -- Rokhsar, Daniel S -- BBS/B/12067/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- BBS/B/12067/2/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jun 19;453(7198):1064-71. doi: 10.1038/nature06967.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, California 94598, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18563158" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The Physcomitrella genome reveals evolutionary insights into the conquest of land by plants (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007
    Description: We report the draft genome sequence of the model moss Physcomitrella patens and compare its features with those of flowering plants, from which it is separated by more than 400 million years, and unicellular aquatic algae. This comparison reveals genomic changes concomitant with the evolutionary movement to land, including a general increase in gene family complexity; loss of genes associated with aquatic environments (e.g., flagellar arms); acquisition of genes for tolerating terrestrial stresses (e.g., variation in temperature and water availability); and the development of the auxin and abscisic acid signaling pathways for coordinating multicellular growth and dehydration response. The Physcomitrella genome provides a resource for phylogenetic inferences about gene function and for experimental analysis of plant processes through this plant's unique facility for reverse genetics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rensing, Stefan A -- Lang, Daniel -- Zimmer, Andreas D -- Terry, Astrid -- Salamov, Asaf -- Shapiro, Harris -- Nishiyama, Tomoaki -- Perroud, Pierre-Francois -- Lindquist, Erika A -- Kamisugi, Yasuko -- Tanahashi, Takako -- Sakakibara, Keiko -- Fujita, Tomomichi -- Oishi, Kazuko -- Shin-I, Tadasu -- Kuroki, Yoko -- Toyoda, Atsushi -- Suzuki, Yutaka -- Hashimoto, Shin-Ichi -- Yamaguchi, Kazuo -- Sugano, Sumio -- Kohara, Yuji -- Fujiyama, Asao -- Anterola, Aldwin -- Aoki, Setsuyuki -- Ashton, Neil -- Barbazuk, W Brad -- Barker, Elizabeth -- Bennetzen, Jeffrey L -- Blankenship, Robert -- Cho, Sung Hyun -- Dutcher, Susan K -- Estelle, Mark -- Fawcett, Jeffrey A -- Gundlach, Heidrun -- Hanada, Kousuke -- Heyl, Alexander -- Hicks, Karen A -- Hughes, Jon -- Lohr, Martin -- Mayer, Klaus -- Melkozernov, Alexander -- Murata, Takashi -- Nelson, David R -- Pils, Birgit -- Prigge, Michael -- Reiss, Bernd -- Renner, Tanya -- Rombauts, Stephane -- Rushton, Paul J -- Sanderfoot, Anton -- Schween, Gabriele -- Shiu, Shin-Han -- Stueber, Kurt -- Theodoulou, Frederica L -- Tu, Hank -- Van de Peer, Yves -- Verrier, Paul J -- Waters, Elizabeth -- Wood, Andrew -- Yang, Lixing -- Cove, David -- Cuming, Andrew C -- Hasebe, Mitsuyasu -- Lucas, Susan -- Mishler, Brent D -- Reski, Ralf -- Grigoriev, Igor V -- Quatrano, Ralph S -- Boore, Jeffrey L -- BBS/E/C/00004948/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Jan 4;319(5859):64-9.

    Role for piRNAs and noncoding RNA in de novo DNA methylation of the imprinted mouse Rasgrf1 locus (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-05-14
    Description: Genomic imprinting causes parental origin-specific monoallelic gene expression through differential DNA methylation established in the parental germ line. However, the mechanisms underlying how specific sequences are selectively methylated are not fully understood. We have found that the components of the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway are required for de novo methylation of the differentially methylated region (DMR) of the imprinted mouse Rasgrf1 locus, but not other paternally imprinted loci. A retrotransposon sequence within a noncoding RNA spanning the DMR was targeted by piRNAs generated from a different locus. A direct repeat in the DMR, which is required for the methylation and imprinting of Rasgrf1, served as a promoter for this RNA. We propose a model in which piRNAs and a target RNA direct the sequence-specific methylation of Rasgrf1.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3368507/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3368507/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Watanabe, Toshiaki -- Tomizawa, Shin-ichi -- Mitsuya, Kohzoh -- Totoki, Yasushi -- Yamamoto, Yasuhiro -- Kuramochi-Miyagawa, Satomi -- Iida, Naoko -- Hoki, Yuko -- Murphy, Patrick J -- Toyoda, Atsushi -- Gotoh, Kengo -- Hiura, Hitoshi -- Arima, Takahiro -- Fujiyama, Asao -- Sado, Takashi -- Shibata, Tatsuhiro -- Nakano, Toru -- Lin, Haifan -- Ichiyanagi, Kenji -- Soloway, Paul D -- Sasaki, Hiroyuki -- R01 CA098597/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 May 13;332(6031):848-52. doi: 10.1126/science.1203919.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Human Genetics and Department of Integrated Genetics, National Institute of Genetics, Research Organization of Information and Systems, Mishima, Shizuoka, 411-8540, Japan. toshwatatoshiakiwatanabe@gmail.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21566194" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Using the Acropora digitifera genome to understand coral responses to environmental change (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-07-26
    Description: Despite the enormous ecological and economic importance of coral reefs, the keystone organisms in their establishment, the scleractinian corals, increasingly face a range of anthropogenic challenges including ocean acidification and seawater temperature rise. To understand better the molecular mechanisms underlying coral biology, here we decoded the approximately 420-megabase genome of Acropora digitifera using next-generation sequencing technology. This genome contains approximately 23,700 gene models. Molecular phylogenetics indicate that the coral and the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis diverged approximately 500 million years ago, considerably earlier than the time over which modern corals are represented in the fossil record ( approximately 240 million years ago). Despite the long evolutionary history of the endosymbiosis, no evidence was found for horizontal transfer of genes from symbiont to host. However, unlike several other corals, Acropora seems to lack an enzyme essential for cysteine biosynthesis, implying dependency of this coral on its symbionts for this amino acid. Corals inhabit environments where they are frequently exposed to high levels of solar radiation, and analysis of the Acropora genome data indicates that the coral host can independently carry out de novo synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids, which are potent ultraviolet-protective compounds. In addition, the coral innate immunity repertoire is notably more complex than that of the sea anemone, indicating that some of these genes may have roles in symbiosis or coloniality. A number of genes with putative roles in calcification were identified, and several of these are restricted to corals. The coral genome provides a platform for understanding the molecular basis of symbiosis and responses to environmental changes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shinzato, Chuya -- Shoguchi, Eiichi -- Kawashima, Takeshi -- Hamada, Mayuko -- Hisata, Kanako -- Tanaka, Makiko -- Fujie, Manabu -- Fujiwara, Mayuki -- Koyanagi, Ryo -- Ikuta, Tetsuro -- Fujiyama, Asao -- Miller, David J -- Satoh, Nori -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jul 24;476(7360):320-3. doi: 10.1038/nature10249.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Marine Genomics Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Promotion Corporation, Onna, Okinawa 904-0412, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21785439" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A map of rice genome variation reveals the origin of cultivated rice (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-10-05
    Description: Crop domestications are long-term selection experiments that have greatly advanced human civilization. The domestication of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) ranks as one of the most important developments in history. However, its origins and domestication processes are controversial and have long been debated. Here we generate genome sequences from 446 geographically diverse accessions of the wild rice species Oryza rufipogon, the immediate ancestral progenitor of cultivated rice, and from 1,083 cultivated indica and japonica varieties to construct a comprehensive map of rice genome variation. In the search for signatures of selection, we identify 55 selective sweeps that have occurred during domestication. In-depth analyses of the domestication sweeps and genome-wide patterns reveal that Oryza sativa japonica rice was first domesticated from a specific population of O. rufipogon around the middle area of the Pearl River in southern China, and that Oryza sativa indica rice was subsequently developed from crosses between japonica rice and local wild rice as the initial cultivars spread into South East and South Asia. The domestication-associated traits are analysed through high-resolution genetic mapping. This study provides an important resource for rice breeding and an effective genomics approach for crop domestication research.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Xuehui -- Kurata, Nori -- Wei, Xinghua -- Wang, Zi-Xuan -- Wang, Ahong -- Zhao, Qiang -- Zhao, Yan -- Liu, Kunyan -- Lu, Hengyun -- Li, Wenjun -- Guo, Yunli -- Lu, Yiqi -- Zhou, Congcong -- Fan, Danlin -- Weng, Qijun -- Zhu, Chuanrang -- Huang, Tao -- Zhang, Lei -- Wang, Yongchun -- Feng, Lei -- Furuumi, Hiroyasu -- Kubo, Takahiko -- Miyabayashi, Toshie -- Yuan, Xiaoping -- Xu, Qun -- Dong, Guojun -- Zhan, Qilin -- Li, Canyang -- Fujiyama, Asao -- Toyoda, Atsushi -- Lu, Tingting -- Feng, Qi -- Qian, Qian -- Li, Jiayang -- Han, Bin -- England -- Nature. 2012 Oct 25;490(7421):497-501. doi: 10.1038/nature11532.
