Prevalence and Intra-Family Phylogenetic Divergence of Burkholderiaceae-Related Endobacteria Associated with Species of Mortierella.

ABSTRACT: Endofungal bacteria are widespread within the phylum Mucoromycota, and these include Burkholderiaceae-related endobacteria (BRE). However, the prevalence of BRE in Mortierellomycotinan fungi and their phylogenetic divergence remain unclear. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of BRE in diverse species of Mortierella. We surveyed 238 isolates of Mortierella spp. mainly obtained in Japan that were phylogenetically classified into 59 species. BRE were found in 53 isolates consisting of 22 species of Mortierella. Among them, 20 species of Mortierella were newly reported as the fungal hosts of BRE. BRE in a Glomeribacter-Mycoavidus clade in the family Burkholderiaceae were separated phylogenetically into three groups. These groups consisted of a group containing Mycoavidus cysteinexigens, which is known to be associated with M. elongata, and two other newly distinguishable groups. Our results demonstrated that BRE were harbored by many species of Mortierella and those that associated with isolates of Mortierella spp. were more phylogenetically divergent than previously reported.

Project description:A fundamental problem in biology is the molecular basis for divergence among related organisms. We have investigated the level of divergence of transcription factor binding sites for two key factors that regulate developmental processes in the budding yeasts. The genomic binding locations for the Ste12 and Tec1 transcription factors in S. cerevisiae, S. mikatae and S. bayanus were mapped by chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with microarrays (chIP chip)1, 2 and compared to one another. While there was a large core network which was conserved in all three species, there were many instances of binding events whose relative levels differ significantly quantitatively in one species relative to another and as well as species-specific binding events. One interesting class of genes were identified that were bound only in S. mikatae and S. bayanus; many of these genes are targets of Ste12 in haploid strains of S. cerevisiae, suggesting that S. cerevisiae has uniquely acquired the ability to differentially regulate these genes in haploid and diploid cells in these species. To extend these studies, the transcriptional network for the Ste12 homologue (Cph1) in Candida albicans was also mapped and compared to the Saccharomyces species. Again, there were several genes bound by Cph1 which are involved in mating in S. cerevisiae, suggesting that the precise delineation between many mating and pseudohyphal targets by Ste12 may be specific to S. cerevisiae. Overall our results demonstrate that transcription binding sites differ faster than gene content indicating that gene regulation at the level of transcription factor binding is likely to be a major mode of evolutionary divergence between related species. We expect that this divergence is essential for the distinct ecological niches inhabited by these organisms. Keywords: chIP-chip ChIP-chip was performed on Ste12 and Tec1 from S. cerevisiae, S. mikatae and S. bayanus in addition to Cph1 from S. cerevisiae. Three biological replicates were performed for each factor in each species with one replicate representing a dye swap.

Project description:Golden camellia species are endangered species with great ecological significance and economic value in the section Chrysantha of the genus Camellia of the family Theaceae. Literature shows that more than 50 species of golden camellia have been found all over the world, but the exact number remains undetermined due to the complex phylogenetic background, the non-uniform classification criteria, and the presence of various synonyms and homonyms; and phylogenetic relationships among golden camellia species at the gene level are yet to be disclosed. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the divergence time and phylogenetic relationships between all golden camellia species at the gene level to improve their classification system and achieve accurate identification of them. Phenotypic data and transcriptomic sequences of 20 golden camellia species commonly found in Guangxi, China were obtained. PCA and OPLS-DA analyses were conducted based on phenotypic data, and agglomerative clustering was performed to generate the clustering tree of the 20 golden camellia species. Single-copy homologous genes were used to generate phylogenetic trees using Neighbor-Joining, Maximum Likelihood, and Bayesian Inference methods, and the results obtained with these three methods were compared. Then the molecular dating analysis was performed to reveal the divergence time and evolutionary relationships. Rhododendron griersonianum, Diospyros lotus, and Impatiens glandulifera were used as outgroups. The phylogenetic tree based on single-copy homologous genes showed that golden camellia species with shorter geographical distances were closer phylogenetically. Phylogenetic relationships based on phenotypic traits and those based on single-copy homologous genes were inconsistent, suggesting that species with a close genetic evolutionary relationship may show high variation in phenotypic traits and thus the analysis of evolutionary relationships based on phenotypic traits may result in inaccurate outcomes. Among three phylogenetic trees constructed by the three methods, the evolutionary sequences were different, but evolutionary relationships between most species were consistent. For 6 species, the divergence time estimated by Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference varied much, that estimated by Bayesian Inference later than that estimated by Maximum Likelihood. Using these two methods, the resulting divergence time of 14 species was 3.452 Mya. The divergence time predicted in our study is later than that in the literature. In the present study phylogenetic relationships among 20 golden camellia species were analyzed at the transcriptome level to provide a supplement to the phylogenetic classification and evolutionary relationships explored using morphological traits and some molecular markers. Our findings show that the 20 golden camellia species diverged at a later time than other known species in the genus Camellia. Since our analyses were based on the failed molecular clock hypothesis, our conclusions are tentative. Further research using more systematic analyses and more methods should be conducted to confirm the phylogenetic relationships among golden camellia species.
