Functional and evolutionary relatedness of genes for exopolysaccharide synthesis in Rhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234.

Rhizobium meliloti SU47 and Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 produce distinct exopolysaccharides that have some similarities in structure. R. meliloti has a narrow host range, whereas Rhizobium strain NGR234 has a very broad host range. In cross-species complementation and hybridization experiments, we found that several of the genes required for the production of the two polysaccharides were functionally interchangeable and similar in evolutionary origin. NGR234 exoC and exoY corresponded to R. meliloti exoB and exoF, respectively. NGR234 exoD was found to be an operon that included genes equivalent to exoM, exoA, and exoL in R. meliloti. Complementation of R. meliloti exoP, -N, and -G by NGR234 R'3222 indicated that additional equivalent genes remain to be found on the R-prime. We were not able to complement NGR234 exoB with R. meliloti DNA. In addition to functional and evolutionary equivalence of individual genes, the general organization of the exo regions was similar between the two species. It is likely that the same ancestral genes were used in the evolution of both exopolysaccharide biosynthetic pathways and probably of pathways in other species as well.

Phylogenetic analysis of Metabacterium polyspora: clues to the evolutionary origin of daughter cell production in Epulopiscium species, the largest bacteria.

It is rare that there are molecular clues to the evolutionary origin of developmental traits. We have encountered an evolutionary juxtaposition that may explain the origin of the unique replicative morphology of Epulopiscium spp., the largest known bacteria, which reproduce by the internal production of multiple live offspring. We report here a 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic analysis of Metabacterium polyspora, a multiple-endospore-forming, uncultivated inhabitant of guinea pig cecum. Cells of M. polyspora were harvested from cecum contents by sedimentation in a Ficoll gradient and lysed. The bacterial 16S rRNA genes of this lysate were amplified by PCR. Sequence analysis of the cloned PCR products revealed two dominant, closely related 16S rRNA types. In situ hybridization of cecum contents with fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides, diagnostic of these two sequences, showed that they represent distinct strains of M. polyspora. Phylogenetic analyses of the sequences showed that M. polyspora is closely related to Epulopiscium spp. On the basis of this result and other correlations, we propose that the process of sporulation was modified in a predecessor of Epulopiscium spp. to produce live offspring instead of quiescent endospores.

Complex evolutionary patterns of tRNA Leu(UAA) group I introns in the cyanobacterial radiation [corrected].

Based on the findings that plastids and cyanobacteria have similar group I introns inserted into tRNAUAALeu genes, these introns have been suggested to be immobile and of ancient origin. In contrast, recent evidence suggests lateral transfer of cyanobacterial group I introns located in tRNAUAALeu genes. In light of these new findings, we have readdressed the evolution and lateral transfer of tRNAUAALeu group I introns in cyanobacteral radiation. We determined the presence of introns in 38 different strains, representing the major cyanobacterial lineages, and characterized the introns in 22 of the strains. Notably, two of these strains have two tRNAUAALeu genes, with each of these genes interrupted by introns, while three of the strains have both interrupted and uninterrupted genes. Two evolutionary distinct clusters of tRNA genes, with the genes interrupted by introns belonging to two distinct intron clusters, were identified. We also compared 16S rDNA and intron evolution for both closely and distantly related strains. The distribution of the introns in the clustered groups, as defined from 16S rDNA analysis, indicates relatively recent gain and/or loss of the introns in some of these lineages. The comparative analysis also suggests differences in the phylogenetic trees for 16S rDNA and the tRNAUAALeu group I introns. Taken together, our results show that the evolution of the intron is considerably more complex than previous studies found to be the case. We discuss, based on our results, evolutionary models involving lateral intron transfer and models involving differential loss of the intron.

Different evolutionary constraints on chemotaxis proteins CheW and CheY revealed by heterologous expression studies and protein sequence analysis.

CheW and CheY are single-domain proteins from a signal transduction pathway that transmits information from transmembrane receptors to flagellar motors in bacterial chemotaxis. In various bacterial and archaeal species, the cheW and cheY genes are usually encoded within homologous chemotaxis operons. We examined evolutionary changes in these two proteins from distantly related proteobacterial species, Escherichia coli and Azospirillum brasilense. We analyzed the functions of divergent CheW and CheY proteins from A. brasilense by heterologous expression in E. coli wild-type and mutant strains. Both proteins were able to specifically inhibit chemotaxis of a wild-type E. coli strain; however, only CheW from A. brasilense was able to restore signal transduction in a corresponding mutant of E. coli. Detailed protein sequence analysis of CheW and CheY homologs from the two species revealed substantial differences in the types of amino acid substitutions in the two proteins. Multiple, but conservative, substitutions were found in CheW homologs. No severe mismatches were found between the CheW homologs in positions that are known to be structurally or functionally important. Substitutions in CheY homologs were found to be less conservative and occurred in positions that are critical for interactions with other components of the signal transduction pathway. Our findings suggest that proteins from the same cellular pathway encoded by genes from the same operon have different evolutionary constraints on their structures that reflect differences in their functions.

Evolutionary genetic analysis of the emergence of epidemic Vibrio cholerae isolates on the basis of comparative nucleotide sequence analysis and multilocus virulence gene profiles.

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, is a natural inhabitant of the aquatic ecosystem. We examined a unique collection of V. cholerae clinical and environmental isolates of widespread geographic distribution recovered over a 60-year period to determine their evolutionary genetic relationships based on analysis of two housekeeping genes, malate dehydrogenase (mdh) and a chaperonin (groEL). In addition, the phylogenetic distribution of 12 regions associated with virulence was determined. Comparative sequence analysis of mdh revealed that all V. cholerae O1 and O139 serogroup isolates belonged to the same clonal lineage. Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of these O1 and O139 strains at groEL confirmed the presence of an epidemic clonal complex. Of the 12 virulence regions examined, only three regions, Vibrio seventh pandemic island 1 (VSP-I), VSP-II, and RS1, were absent from all classical V. cholerae isolates. Most V. cholerae El Tor biotype and O139 serogroup isolates examined encoded all 12 virulence regions assayed. Outside of V. cholerae O1/O139 serogroup isolates, only one strain, VO7, contained VSP-I. Two V. cholerae El Tor isolates, GP155 and 2164-78, lacked both VSP-I and VSP-II, and one El Tor isolate, GP43, lacked VSP-II. Five non-O1/non-O139 serogroup isolates had an mdh sequence identical to that of the epidemic O1 and O139 strains. These isolates, similar to classical strains, lack both VSP-I and VSP-II. Four of the 12 virulence regions examined were found to be present in all isolates: hlyA, pilE, MSHA and RTX. Among non-O1/non-O139 isolates, however, the occurrence of the additional eight regions was considerably lower. The evolutionary relationships and multilocus virulence gene profiles of V. cholerae natural isolates indicate that consecutive pandemic strains arose from a common O1 serogroup progenitor through the successive acquisition of new virulence regions.

DNA sequence-based subtyping and evolutionary analysis of selected Salmonella enterica serotypes.

While serotyping and phage typing have been used widely to characterize Salmonella isolates, sensitive subtyping methods that allow for evolutionary analyses are essential for examining Salmonella transmission, ecology, and evolution. A set of 25 Salmonella enterica isolates, representing five clinically relevant serotypes (serotypes Agona, Heidelberg, Schwarzengrund, Typhimurium, and Typhimurium var. Copenhagen) was initially used to develop a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Salmonella targeting seven housekeeping and virulence genes (panB, fimA, aceK, mdh, icdA, manB, and spaN). A total of eight MLST types were found among the 25 isolates sequenced. A good correlation between MLST types and Salmonella serotypes was observed; only one serotype Typhimurium var. Copenhagen isolate displayed an MLST type otherwise typical for serotype Typhimurium isolates. Since manB, fimA, and mdh allowed for the highest subtype discrimination among the initial 25 isolates, we chose these three genes to perform DNA sequencing of an additional 41 Salmonella isolates representing a larger diversity of serotypes. This "three-gene sequence typing scheme" allowed discrimination of 25 sequence types (STs) among a total of 66 isolates; STs correlated well with serotypes and allowed within-serotype differentiation for 9 of the 12 serotypes characterized. Phylogenetic analyses showed that serotypes Kentucky and Newport could each be separated into two distinct, statistically well supported evolutionary lineages. Our results show that a three-gene sequence typing scheme allows for accurate serotype prediction and for limited subtype discrimination among clinically relevant serotypes of Salmonella. Three-gene sequence typing also supports the notion that Salmonella serotypes represent both monophyletic and polyphyletic lineages.

Molecular evolutionary history of tubercle bacilli assessed by study of the polymorphic nucleotide within the nitrate reductase (narGHJI) operon promoter.

A well-characterized collection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) isolates, representing all known subspecies as well as some relevant genotypic families of M. tuberculosis, was analyzed for the newly discovered narGHJI -215 C-to-T promoter single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). This point mutation has been shown in earlier studies to be responsible for the differential nitrate reductase activity of M. tuberculosis versus M. bovis. As previously defined by the presence or the absence of the TbD1 genetic locus, the group included both the "modern" W-Beijing, Haarlem, and Central-Asian1 (CAS1) families as well as the "ancestral" East-African-Indian (EAI) clade. Interestingly, among "modern" M. tuberculosis isolates, those previously classified as Principal Genetic Group 1 (PGG1) organisms by katG463-gyrA95 polymorphism analysis did not present the two-banded narGHJI restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR products pattern common to the other PGG1 MTC members, including the "ancestral" M. tuberculosis isolates. Instead, they showed a one-banded pattern, aligning them with other evolutionarily recent M. tuberculosis isolates of the PGG2 and PGG3 groups, such as Haarlem, Latin-American and Mediterranean (LAM), and X families. The presence of a nitrate reductase producer phenotype in "Mycobacterium canettii" and some "ancestral" M. tuberculosis isolates, despite a two-band -215C genotype, argues in favor of an alternate mechanism to explain the differential nitrate reductase activity of certain PGG1 subspecies of the MTC. Overall, these findings may help to establish the precise evolutionary history of important genotype families such as W-Beijing and suggest that the -215T genotype may have contributed the virulence, spread, and evolutionary success of "modern" M. tuberculosis strains compared to the remaining MTC organisms.

Evolutionary mechanisms of persistence and diversification of a calicivirus within endemically infected natural host populations.

In order to understand the evolutionary mechanisms of persistence and diversification within the Caliciviridae, we have been exploiting endemic infection of feline calicivirus within five geographically distinct household groups of cats. By sequencing immunodominant and variable regions of the capsid gene, we identified the relative contribution of the different evolutionary processes employed by the virus to ensure its long-term survival in the host population. Such strategies included progressive evolution of a given variant of a strain through mutation accumulation within an individual, sequential reinfection with either a variant of the same strain or with a different strain, and mixed infection. Recombination between different strains in this study has been reported in detail elsewhere (K. P. Coyne et al., J. Gen. Virol. 87:921-926, 2006). Here, we provide evidence to suggest that true long-term persistent infection in individuals is relatively rare, with the majority of apparent viral carriers undergoing a combination of progressive evolution and cyclical reinfection. Progressive evolution at the individual level and variant reinfection at both the individual and population levels were associated with positive selection. Two measures of evolution rate were determined; for a virus progressively evolving within an individual (1.32 x 10(-2) to 2.64 x 10(-2) substitutions per nucleotide per year, i.e., no transmission) and for a strain circulating within a population (3.84 x 10(-2) to 4.56 x 10(-2) substitutions per nucleotide per year, i.e., including transmission). Reiteration of both progressive evolution and variant reinfection appeared to lead to a gradual increase in the diversity of a given strain of virus, both in the individual and in the population, until eventually new strains emerged.

Evolutionary analysis of the influenza A virus M gene with comparison of the M1 and M2 proteins.

Phylogenetic analysis of 42 membrane protein (M) genes of influenza A viruses from a variety of hosts and geographic locations showed that these genes have evolved into at least four major host-related lineages: (i) A/Equine/prague/56, which has the most divergent M gene; (ii) a lineage containing only H13 gull viruses; (iii) a lineage containing both human and classical swine viruses; and (iv) an avian lineage subdivided into North American avian viruses (including recent equine viruses) and Old World avian viruses (including avianlike swine strains). The M gene evolutionary tree differs from those published for other influenza virus genes (e.g., PB1, PB2, PA, and NP) but shows the most similarity to the NP gene phylogeny. Separate analyses of the M1 and M2 genes and their products revealed very different patterns of evolution. Compared with other influenza virus genes (e.g., PB2 and NP), the M1 and M2 genes are evolving relatively slowly, especially the M1 gene. The M1 and M2 gene products, which are encoded in different but partially overlapping reading frames, revealed that the M1 protein is evolving very slowly in all lineages, whereas the M2 protein shows significant evolution in human and swine lineages but virtually none in avian lineages. The evolutionary rates of the M1 proteins were much lower than those of M2 proteins and other internal proteins of influenza viruses (e.g., PB2 and NP), while M2 proteins showed less rapid evolution compared with other surface proteins (e.g., H3HA). Our results also indicate that for influenza A viruses, the evolution of one protein of a bicistronic gene can affect the evolution of the other protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Evolutionary dynamics of genetic variation in Epstein-Barr virus isolates of diverse geographical origins: evidence for immune pressure-independent genetic drift.

The question whether immune pressure exerted by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can influence the long-term evolution of genetically stable viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has generated considerable scientific interest, primarily due to its important implications for the overall biology of the virus. While arguing for a role of CTLs in the evolution of viruses, it is important to differentiate between genetic variation in virus and immune recognition of these variant virus by CTLs. To assess the role of genetic selection in the long-term evolution of EBV, we have analyzed a large panel of type 1 EBV isolates from African, Southeast Asian, Papua-New Guinean (PNG), and Australian Caucasian individuals. Seven different regions of the EBV genome, which include nine CTL epitopes restricted through a range of HLA class I alleles, were sequenced and compared. Although numerous nucleotide changes were identified within these isolates, comparison of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions in the CTL epitope indicated that the genetic variation was generated mostly independently of immune selection pressure. Surprisingly, an inverse correlation between genetic variation within certain CTL epitopes and the frequency distribution of HLA alleles that present the CTL epitopes was seen, suggesting that the evolutionary pressures on the CTL epitopes of the virus may be toward their conservation rather than their inactivation. Furthermore, molecular evolutionary genetic analysis of nucleotide sequences revealed that viral isolates from PNG are evolving as a lineage distinct from isolates from African, Southeast Asian, and Australian Caucasian individuals.

Evolutionary pressure of a receptor competitor selects different subgroup a avian leukosis virus escape variants with altered receptor interactions.

A complex interaction between the retroviral envelope glycoproteins and a specific cell surface protein initiates viral entry into cells. The avian leukosis-sarcoma virus (ALV) group of retroviruses provides a useful experimental system for studying the retroviral entry process and the evolution of receptor usage. In this study, we demonstrate that evolutionary pressure on subgroup A ALV [ALV(A)] entry exerted by the presence of a competitive inhibitor, a soluble form of the ALV(A) Tva receptor linked to a mouse immunoglobulin G tag (quail sTva-mIgG), can select different populations of escape variants. This escape population contained three abundant ALV(A) variant viruses, all with mutations in the surface glycoprotein hypervariable regions: a previously identified variant containing the Y142N mutation in the hr1 region; a new variant with two mutations, W141G in hr1 and K261E in vr3; and another new variant with two mutations, W145R in hr1 and K261E. The W141G K261E and W145R K261E viruses escape primarily by lowering their binding affinities for the quail Tva receptor competitive inhibitor while retaining wild-type levels of binding affinity for the chicken Tva receptor. A secondary phenotype of the new variants was an alteration in receptor interference patterns from that of wild-type ALV(A), indicating that the mutant glycoproteins are possibly interacting with other cellular proteins. One result of these altered interactions was that the variants caused a transient period of cytotoxicity. We could also directly demonstrate that the W141G K261E variant glycoproteins bound significant levels of a soluble form of the Tvb(S3) ALV receptor in a binding assay. Alterations in the normally extreme specificity of the ALV(A) glycoproteins for Tva may represent an evolutionary first step toward expanding viral receptor usage in response to inefficient viral entry.

Mouse rDNA: sequences and evolutionary analysis of spacer and mature RNA regions.

Two regions of mouse rDNA were sequenced. One contained the last 323 nucleotides of the external transcribed spacer and the first 595 nucleotides of 18S rRNA; the other spanned the entire internal transcribed spacer and included the 3' end of 18S rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, and the 5' end of 28S rRNA. The mature rRNA sequences are very highly conserved from yeast to mouse (unit evolutionary period, the time required for a 1% divergence of sequence, was 30 X 10(6) to 100 X 10(6) years). In 18S rRNA, at least some of the evolutionary expansion and increase in G + C content is due to a progressive accretion of discrete G + C-rich insertions. Spacer sequence comparisons between mouse and rat rRNA reveal much more extensive and frequent insertions and substitutions of G + C-rich segments. As a result, spacers conserve overall G + C richness but not sequence (UEP, 0.3 X 10(6) years) or specific base-paired stems. Although no stems analogous to those bracketing 16S and 23S rRNA in Escherichia coli pre-rRNA are evident, certain features of the spacer regions flanking eucaryotic mature rRNAs are conserved and could be involved in rRNA processing or ribosome formation. These conserved regions include some short homologous sequence patterns and closely spaced direct repeats.

Evolutionary dynamics of a satellite DNA in the tiger beetle species pair Cicindela campestris and C. maroccana.

Satellite repeat elements are an abundant component of eukaryotic genomes, but not enough is known about their evolutionary dynamics and their involvement in karyotype and species differentiation. We report the nucleotide sequence, chromosomal localization, and evolutionary dynamics of a repetitive DNA element of the tiger beetle species pair Cicindela maroccana and Cicindela campestris. The element was detected after restriction digest of C. maroccana total genomic DNA with EcoRI as a single band and its multimers on agarose gels. Cloning and sequencing of several isolates revealed a consensus sequence of 383 bp with no internal repeat structure and no detectable similarity to any entry in GenBank. Hybridization of the satellite unit to C. maroccana mitotic and meiotic chromosomes revealed the presence of this repetitive DNA in the centromeres of all chromosomes except the Y chromosome, which exhibited only a very weak signal in its short arm. PCR-based tests for this satellite in related species revealed its presence in the sister species C. campestris, but not in other closely related species. Phylogenetic analysis of PCR products revealed well-supported clades that generally separate copies from each species. Because both species exhibit the multiple X chromosome karyotypic system common to Cicindela, but differ in their X chromosome numbers (four in C. maroccana vs. three in C. campestris), structural differences could also be investigated with regard to the position of satellites in a newly arisen X chromosome. We find the satellite in a centromeric position in all X chromosomes of C. maroccana, suggesting that the origin of the additional X chromosome involves multiple karyotypic rearrangements.

Evidence for sequence-independent evolutionary traces in genomics data.

Sequence conservation during evolution is the foundation for the functional classification of the enormous number of new protein sequences being discovered in the current era of genome sequencing. Conventional methods to detect homologous proteins are not always able to distinguish between true homologs and false positive hits in the twilight zone of sequence similarity. Several different approaches have been proposed to improve the sensitivity of these methods. Among the most successful are sequence profiles, multi-linked alignment, and threading. However, evolution might offer up other clues about a protein's ancestry that are sequence independent. Here we report the discovery of two such traces of evolution that could potentially be used to help infer the fold of a protein and hence improve the ability to predict the biochemical function. The first such evolutionary trace is a conservation of fold along the genome, i.e. nearby genes tend to share a fold more often than expected by chance alone--a not unexpected observation, but one which holds true even when no pair of genes being examined share appreciable homology. The second such evolutionary trace is, surprisingly, present in expression data: genes that are correlated in expression are more apt to share a fold than two randomly chosen genes. This result is surprising because correlations in expression have previously only been considered useful for determining biological function (e.g. what pathway a particular gene fits into), yet the observed fold enrichment in the expression data permits us to say something about biochemical function since fold corresponds strongly with biochemical function. Again, the fold enrichment observed in the expression data is apparent even when no pair of genes being examined share appreciable homology.

Evolutionary artificial neural networks.

Evolutionary artificial neural networks (EANNs) can be considered as a combination of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and evolutionary search procedures such as genetic algorithms (GAs). This paper distinguishes among three levels of evolution in EANNs, i.e. the evolution of connection weights, architectures and learning rules. It first reviews each kind of evolution in detail and then analyses major issues related to each kind of evolution. It is shown in the paper that although there is a lot of work on the evolution of connection weights and architectures, research on the evolution of learning rules is still in its early stages. Interactions among different levels of evolution are far from being understood. It is argued in the paper that the evolution of learning rules and its interactions with other levels of evolution play a vital role in EANNs.

Utilizing evolutionary information and gene expression data for estimating gene networks with bayesian network models.

Since microarray gene expression data do not contain sufficient information for estimating accurate gene networks, other biological information has been considered to improve the estimated networks. Recent studies have revealed that highly conserved proteins that exhibit similar expression patterns in different organisms, have almost the same function in each organism. Such conserved proteins are also known to play similar roles in terms of the regulation of genes. Therefore, this evolutionary information can be used to refine regulatory relationships among genes, which are estimated from gene expression data. We propose a statistical method for estimating gene networks from gene expression data by utilizing evolutionarily conserved relationships between genes. Our method simultaneously estimates two gene networks of two distinct organisms, with a Bayesian network model utilizing the evolutionary information so that gene expression data of one organism helps to estimate the gene network of the other. We show the effectiveness of the method through the analysis on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Homo sapiens cell cycle gene expression data. Our method was successful in estimating gene networks that capture many known relationships as well as several unknown relationships which are likely to be novel. Supplementary information is available at http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tamada/bayesnet/.

Pheromone-mediated aggregation in nonsocial arthropods: an evolutionary ecological perspective.

Although the use of aggregation pheromones has been reported for hundreds of nonsocial arthropod species, the evolutionary ecological aspects of this behavior have received little attention. Despite the elaborate literature on mechanisms, robust data on costs and benefits of aggregation pheromones are scant. Existing literature indicates that, in contrast to the diversity of mechanisms, the ecological conditions in which aggregation pheromones are used are more alike. This points to a few general categories for costs and benefits of aggregation pheromones, and these are discussed. We subsequently review interspecific interactions that may be affected by the use of aggregation pheromones. We encounter a strikingly frequent association of aggregation pheromones with fungi and microorganisms and address cross-attraction by competitor species and exploitation by natural enemies. We show that aggregative behavior by individuals through the use of pheromones can profoundly affect ecological interactions and advocate further evolutionary and ecological investigations of pheromone-mediated aggregation.

Recombination in evolutionary genomics.

Recombination can be a dominant force in shaping genomes and associated phenotypes. To better understand the impact of recombination on genomic evolution, we need to be able to identify recombination in aligned sequences. We review bioinformatic approaches for detecting recombination and measuring recombination rates. We also examine the impact of recombination on the reconstruction of evolutionary histories and the estimation of population genetic parameters. Finally, we review the role of recombination in the evolutionary history of bacteria, viruses, and human mitochondria. We conclude by highlighting a number of areas for future development of tools to help quantify the role of recombination in genomic evolution.
