Abstract Animal and plant species exhibit an astonishing diversity of sexual systems, including environmental genetic determinants sex, with the latter material in mitochondrial genome. In several hermaphroditic plants for example, sex is determined by interaction between cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) genes nuclear restorer genes. Specifically, CMS involves aberrant that prevent pollen development specific restore it, leading to a mixture female (male‐sterile) individuals population (gynodioecy). Such mitochondrial‐nuclear determination system thought be rare outside plants. Here, we present one possible case animals. We hypothesize only exception strict maternal mtDNA inheritance animals, doubly uniparental (DUI) bivalves, might have originated as sex‐determination system. document explore similarities exist DUI CMS, propose various ways test our hypothesis.

Differential expression (DE) differential splicing (DS) analyses revealed sex-specific transcriptional gonads, but not somatic tissues. Co-expression networks complex genes gonad-associated modules showed high tissue specificity. However, male patterns evolution One set related structural organization gametes presented slow pleiotropy, whereas another enriched reproduction-related characterized by fast Sexual SNPs were found overrepresented mitochondrial-related functions, providing new candidates for investigating relationship between DUI species.

Abstract Mitonuclear coevolution is common in eukaryotes, but bivalve lineages that have doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondria may be an interesting example. In this system, females transmit mtDNA (F mtDNA) to all offspring, while males a different (M solely their sons. Molecular evolution and functional data suggest oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes encoded M evolve under relaxed selection due function being limited sperm only (vs. other tissues for F mtDNA). This has led the hypothesis mitonuclear less important mtDNA. Here, we use comparative phylogenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics understand interactions DUI bivalves. We found nuclear OXPHOS proteins coevolve maintain compatibility similarly with both proteins. Mitochondrial recombination did not influence nuclear-encoded were upregulated offset dysfunction. Our results support maintains despite on Strict transmission, lower effective population size, higher mutation rates explain study highlights broad features eukaryotes.

In most eukaryotes, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the main energy production process and it involves both mitochondrial nuclear genomes. The close interaction between two genomes critical for coordinated function of OXPHOS process. Some bivalves show doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) mitochondria, where highly divergent genomes, one inherited through eggs (F-type) other sperm (M-type), coexist in same individual. However, remains a puzzle how genes coordinate with DUI species. this study, we compared transcription, polymorphism, synonymous codon usage species Ruditapes philippinarum using sex- tissue-specific transcriptomes. Mitochondrial showed different transcription profiles. Strong co-transcription signal was observed within (separate F- M-type) but weak or absent genes, suggesting that coordination subunits not achieved transcriptionally. McDonald-Kreitman frequency-spectrum based tests indicated M-type deviated significantly from neutrality, F-type undergo selection patterns. Codon analysis revealed mutation bias translational were major factors affecting nevertheless, appears to be less efficient than genes. Therefore, speculate may involve post-transcriptional/translational regulation.在大多数真核生物中,氧化磷酸化 (Oxidative phosphorylation, OXPHOS) 是主要的能量产生过程,它同时涉及线粒体基因组与核基因组。两个基因组之间密切的相互作用对于OXPHOS过程的功能协调至关重要。一些双壳类动物表现出线粒体的双单亲遗传(Doubly , DUI),其中两个遗传差异极大的线粒体基因组——一个通过卵细胞遗传(F型),另一个通过精子遗传(M型)——在同一个体中共存。然而,在DUI 物种中,核OXPHOS基因如何与两个遗传差异极大的线粒体基因组协调仍然未知。在该研究中,我们利用性别和组织特异性转录组比较了DUI 物种菲律宾蛤仔( philippinarum)的线粒体与核OXPHOS基因的转录、遗传多态性和密码子使用偏好。线粒体和核OXPHOS基因显示出不同的转录模式。在F型、M型线粒体基因和核 基因内分别存在较强的共转录信号,但线粒体和核 基因之间的信号很弱或不存在,这表明线粒体和核 亚基之间的协调可能不在转录水平实现。McDonald-Kreitman检验和基于等位基因频谱的检验表明M型 基因显著偏离中性,且F型和M型 基因经历了不同的选择压力。对密码子的使用偏好分析表明,突变偏倚和翻译选择是影响不同OXPHOS 基因密码子使用偏好的主要因素;然而,线粒体OXPHOS基因受到的翻译选择低于核 基因。综上,我们推测OXPHOS基因之间的协调可能涉及转录后/翻译调节。.

The mitochondrion was characterized for years as the energy factory of cell, but now its role in many more cellular processes is recognized. and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) also possess a set distinct properties, including maternal inheritance, that creates Mother’s Curse phenomenon. As mtDNA inherited from females to all offspring, mutations are harmful males tend accumulate easily. associated with various diseases, has significant effect on males, cases even affecting their reproductive ability. Sometimes, it leads isolation, crosses between different populations, genome cannot cooperate effectively nuclear one resulting mito-nuclear incompatibility reduce fitness hybrids. This phenomenon observed both laboratory natural have potential influence evolution speciation.

Abstract Disentangling different types of selection is a common goal in molecular evolution. Elevated d N / S ratios (the ratio nonsynonymous to synonymous substitution rates) focal lineages are often interpreted as signs positive selection. Paradoxically, relaxed purifying can also result elevated ratios, but tests distinguish these two causes seldomly implemented. Here, we reevaluated seven case studies describing animal mtDNA and their accompanying hypotheses regarding They included flightless vs. flighted birds, bats, insects, physiological adaptations snakes, groups electric fishes, primates. We found that were not caused by the predicted mechanism, sometimes strong support for opposite mechanism. discuss reasons why energetic may be confounded other selective forces acting on caution against overinterpreting “spandrels”, including ratios.
