Complete mitochondrial DNA of the marine water flea Diaphanosoma celebensis (Cladocera, Sididae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the marine water flea Diaphanosoma celebensis. The sequenced mitochondrial genome size was 17,060 bp, possessing identical gene order of 13 protein-coding genes (PGCs) to those of the congeneric freshwater species Diaphanosoma dubium in the genus Diaphanosoma. The mitochondrial genome of D. celebensis had 13 PGCs, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs. Of 13 PGCs, three genes (CO3, ND3, and ND4) had incomplete stop codons. Furthermore, the stop codons of the remaining ten PGCs were TAA (for CO1, ATP8, ATP6, ND5, ND6, and ND1) and TAG (for NL4L, Cytb, and ND2). The second and third base composition of codon on 9 PCGs on the L strand in D. celebensis mitogenome showed an anti-G bias (11.0% and 15.0%), respectively.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The gene doublesex (dsx) is known as a key factor regulating genetic sex determination in many organisms. We previously identified two dsx genes (DapmaDsx1 and DapmaDsx2) from a freshwater branchiopod crustacean, Daphnia magna, which are expressed in males but not in females. D. magna produces males by parthenogenesis in response to environmental cues (environmental sex determination) and we showed that DapmaDsx1 expression during embryonic stages is responsible for the male trait development. The D. magna dsx genes are thought to have arisen by a cladoceran-specific duplication; therefore, to investigate evolutionary conservation of sex specific expression of dsx genes and to further assess their functions in the environmental sex determination, we searched for dsx homologs in four closely related cladoceran species. RESULTS: We identified homologs of both dsx genes from, D. pulex, D. galeata, and Ceriodaphnia dubia, yet only a single dsx gene was found from Moina macrocopa. The deduced amino acid sequences of all 9 dsx homologs contained the DM and oligomerization domains, which are characteristic for all arthropod DSX family members. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggested that the dsx gene duplication likely occurred prior to the divergence of these cladoceran species, because that of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon is rooted ancestrally to both DSX1 and DSX2 of cladocerans. Therefore, this result also suggested that M. macrocopa lost dsx2 gene secondarily. Furthermore, all dsx genes identified in this study showed male-biased expression levels, yet only half of the putative 5' upstream regulatory elements are preserved in D. magna and D. pulex. CONCLUSIONS: The all dsx genes of five cladoceran species examined had similar amino acid structure containing highly conserved DM and oligomerization domains, and exhibited sexually dimorphic expression patterns, suggesting that these genes may have similar functions for environmental sex determination in cladocerans.
