WolbachiaAcquisition byDrosophila yakuba-Clade Hosts and Transfer of Incompatibility Loci Between Distantly RelatedWolbachia

Abstract: Maternally transmitted Wolbachia infect about half of insect species, yet the predominant mode(s) of Wolbachia acquisition remains uncertain. Species-specific associations could be old, with Wolbachia and hosts codiversifying (i.e., cladogenic acquisition), or relatively young and acquired by horizontal transfer or introgression. The three Drosophila yakuba-clade hosts [(D. santomea, D. yakuba) D. teissieri] diverged 3 MYA and currently hybridize on the West African islands Bioko and São Tomé. Each species is … Show more

“…Given the aforementioned relevance to both applied and basic research, there is considerable interest in the genetics of reproductive parasitism (21) and in phage WO in particular (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). Phage WO has a unique genome among phages because it includes a eukaryotic association module (EAM) that is enriched with genes annotated or demonstrated to have eukaryotic function or homology (22).…”

“…This genetic region, which is of prophage origin and capable of manipulating the eukaryote host, showcases the importance of using a hologenomic approach to study evolution 42 . w Pip of Culex pipiens and w Yak of D. yakuba have similar prophage-derived regions containing two syntenic pairs of paralog genes (termed cidA / cidB and cinA / cinB) 43 . cidA / cidB have been suggested to induce and rescue CI via a toxin-antidote mechanism where cidB acts as a modifier and cidA as a rescuer 41 .…”

“…The phylogenetic analysis also showed that, in some instances, closely related Wolbachia 396 strains may have different effects. For example, wTei and wYak diverged only about 1,500 years 397 ago and share very high sequence similarity (0.0039% third-position pairwise differences; 398 Cooper et al 2019), yet wTei altered T p of D. teissieri and wYak had no effect on D. yakuba 399 ( Figure 2). Similarly, wHa and wSh have high sequence similarity according to our analysis 400 Supplemental Figure S1.…”
